Siege Of Boston is upped in class off a 7lb higher mark as he bids for a hat-trick having won over track and trip last time. But a couple of these are less exposed including Cliffs Of Capri, who won at Wolverhampton when last in action though that was nearly a year ago now. NOBLE CONQUEST has the more recent form with a second at Thirsk in August and he gets the nod to come good on his handicap debut. Mandarin is another with scope and Family Fortunes ran well here last time but Rebel De Lope was still beaten a long way when second at Salisbury.
