Solent Meads scored over track an trip recently and is upped 4lb for this. But MESOPHERE is less exposed having recently joined Harry Fry’s yard and running well on his handicap debut at Chepstow. He should be sharper for this and may come good. Discovered is another lightly-raced type capable of better but Mont Royal has struggled since winning at Beverley in July and Pinnata’s earlier success at Chepstow came in a classified race. Chicago Star has something to prove over this longer trip while Evening Hill posted her best effort in a handicap so far when second over 1m2f.
