Plenty with claims in this but course and distance winner ROYAL BRAVE drops back down a grade after a close-up fourth here last time so gets a tentative vote. You're Cool arrives in fine form having won two of his last three outings, both at Wolverhampton, while Indian Pursuit and Ambitious Icarus won over track and trip on their respective penultimate starts and the former was only beaten a head back here last time. It Must Be Faith is not out of this off his current mark and Poppy In The Wind likes it here.
