Kaser is upped in class off a higher mark after winning over track and trip while Michele Strogoff's recent success here came in a claimer. Guvenor's Choice is regularly placed at this level and finished runner-up at Kempton last time and though My Target may not be the force of old on the all-weather he has tumbled down the weights. Private View has struggled to get her head in front over shorter trips and attempts today's distance for the first time but the returning WELL SUITED was beaten only a neck in novice company over course and distance back in April and Simon Crisford's colt gets the nod now handicapping.
