Dais Return is the only one of these with a course and distance victory to his credit which he produced in May and he again ran well here from 7lb higher last week. Amazing D'Azy is on a roll after victories in maiden and novice company though he's been beaten from lower marks than this in handicaps so the pick has to be ON THE RECORD. Jonjo O'Neill's charge is progressing fast and a 6lb rise for his latest success at Southwell doesn't look enough to prevent a hat-trick. Roll On Ruby was only just beaten by Amazing D'Azy at Newton Abbot and with the weights now in her favour she could provide the main threat.
