Excuse To Linger drops back in distance having scored over 7f at Yarmouth last time and will find this tougher. L'AMI LOUIS makes more appeal as he wasn't beaten far in fifth over track and trip earlier this month with both Midnight Rider and Trojan Rocket behind. Henry Candy's charge gets the vote dropping down in class but Hadaj also has claims off his current mark and has the beating of Peace Seeker on collateral form. Jack My Boy and Bajan Bear won lower grade sprints last month but were both well beaten off higher marks last time.
