Paper Faces has had plenty of chance now without being good enough but John Caesar was beaten less than a length behind Sir Lancelott, who runs in the previous division, last time and his turn may not be far away. Ferryview Place finished further behind the latter on his latest start but BOYCHICK won over track and trip earlier in the month and may be up to defying a 4lb rise in the weights. Commissar and Ifan last won on the all-weather in 2014 but King Oswald scored over a shorter trip here in August and is only 3lb higher.
