Plenty with a shout in this including last year’s winner DIVINE CALL. 9lb lower today, he’s been getting closer of late and any softening of the ground would further enhance his claims. Upavon bids for a hat-trick raised a further 5lb for winning at Brighton last time but King Of Spin missed out on a treble when only third at Lingfield recently. Symposium is another recent Brighton winner while Panther Patrol and Straits Of Malacca were both beaten less than a length on their latest starts. Pettochside and Gorokai are others to consider in a wide-open sprint.
