GLOBAL ESTEEM won a higher grade race over 7f at York last time. Chris Dwyer’s charge stays this far and will handle the soft ground.

Bucephalus finished in front of Shouldering and Gin Palace when second at Newmarket while Tom Collins races over a mile on soft going for the first time since scoring at Pontefract last year.
