Dealing River has now won three times over course and distance and had old rival MODELIGO back in third when successful latest. However, Matt Shepherd's charge now enjoys an 8lb pull for a six-length deficit and that could be enough to turn the tables. Kitchapoly reappears on a fair mark and could figure if fully wound-up but No Ceiling failed to handle a higher mark at Warwick last month and jumping concerns still hang over Foxtail Hill and A Little Magic. Kempton winner Keppel Isle has been raised 7lb and none of the others arrive in any kind of form.
