Recent Fontwell winner Southway Star may be worth opposing in this under a penalty, despite the presence of the promising Brendan Powell in the saddle, and we prefer GLEANNACREIM. Carroll Gray's eight-year-old is still a maiden but led for a long way over 3m at Ludlow last time under Richie Killoran so this drop in trip may just suit. Last month's Fontwell third Homer Run probably has more scope than most and appears to hold The Clyda Rover on that run. He looks the pick of the remainder.
