Shotley Mac remains on a winning mark despite a penalty for last week's win at Beverley, but Talent Scout is 9lb higher than his latest win at Carlisle. Master Of Dance won a division of this last year and, along with Wiseman's Diamond, scored over C&D last month in testing conditions. BROCTUNE PAPA GIO was well beaten in soft ground over 7f here last time, but he should prove a different proposition back on a decent surface as he'd won three of his previous four starts and he gets the vote. Jupiter Fidius could make the frame once again.
