Lozah finished ahead of Who's Shirl when fifth here to The Magic Pencil, due to run in the earlier division of this. Swansway also runs in the latter race and he had FOOLAAD in third with Broctune Papa Gio further behind over track and trip last time. Roy Bowring’s charge looks set to go close having slid down the weights last year. Pickett's Charge was second over 1m2f at the track recently and could figure while Chiswick Bey may also get involved dropping down a grade for this.
