Cody Wyoming did well here last time and he should make a good fist of defying a 5lb rise, though the suggestion is CREEP DESBOIS, whose run at Ascot was a promising start over fences, though also suggested that this slight drop in trip would prove beneficial. With scope for improvement, he gets the nod. Princeton Royale looks well treated if he can run to his ability and Popelys Gull is interesting on his handicap debut, though he will need to be better than at Southwell last time. Royal Plaza should be competitive, but needs to find a bit extra to be winning. A revival from Mercers Court would give him claims from this mark.
