Hi Note scored by seven lengths at Newbury but has been raised 9lb for her trouble and Meetings Man has been raised the same amount for an easy win at Lingfield. Saborido scored over track and trip last season but this is tougher while Cousin Khee's victory at this track came in an all-weather bumper. Presto Volante has a leading chance having gone close in better company here last month but Man Of Plenty has come up short over today's distance on a couple of occasions now. SPIRITOFTOMINTOUL has yet to win but the half-brother to a winning hurdler is expected to improve for today's extra distance and the unexposed four-year-old gets the vote.
