What's The Story won this in 2019 from a 1lb lower mark and can get into contention while Redarna's 66/1 success in the Thirsk Hunt Cup didn't look a fluke and he holds Lion Tower and Cruyff Turn on that run, though the latter won a heritage handicap here in August. ISLA KAI completed a hat-trick of victories last summer on ground with plenty of give. He handles good going as well as he showed on last month's reappearance at Newbury and, providing the ground doesn't dry out further, can get back to winning ways. Lightening Company beaten Hortzadar a head on soft ground at Redcar and is better off at the weights after the latter won at Ripon. La Trinidad won twice here last summer so also warrants a mention.
