Atight-knit handicap in which RISEN AGAIN looks the way to go given he can race off the same mark as when a very good Lingfield second last time out. Just An Hour lacks a recent run but resumes on a lenient mark so could emerge as the chiefdanger ahead of Bobacious and Time Tells All.

HOCK EYE THE NOO pushed recent C&D winner Antiquity close at Newcastle last month and is taken to show she’s still in a good mark. Coma Cluster and The New Bay Pearl appeal as likely improvers in handicaps for leading stables and may provide the main opposition.

PLAY SMARTER
A tricky finale to solve but FIFTY SENT confirmed recent promise to win for the first time in almost 2 years partnered by Billy Loughnane for the first time earlier this month and, nudged up just 2lb, Sam England’s 6-y-o gets the nod to follow up Mr Jetman found just one too good at Doncaster recently and he may have to settle for silver again, with Venus Slipper and Edvard Grieg taken to fight out third.
