Lion Tower scored at Newcastle last time though has yet to win on Turf but Bringitonboris won over track and trip last year and subsequently landed a double on the all-weather. Jackhammer won four times back in 2019 but has had just the two outings since while Asdaa will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long. But CHALLET finished third over 7f on fast ground at Redcar on his reappearance and having recorded a double over today’s trip last season, Michael Dods’ charge can land the opener.
