NAOISE has been thereabouts off similar marks and today's drop in class could see Ollie Pears' charge get his head back in front. Seychelloise has gone close of late but is now 11lb higher than last month's success here while Wink Oliver is upped a further 4lb for last week's win at Chelmsford. There was little between third-placed Logans Lad, Clockmaker and Rich Again here during the week with Thataboy further behind and the lightly raced Inexes could go well now handicapping for the first time.
