Three Ways may need this but has dropped to a very fair mark. Same Circus is back on the same mark as when successful in this race 12 months ago but Yes No Maybe So couldn’t cope with a further 8lb rise when on a five-timer at Uttoxeter and Vancouver ran poorly at Warwick and tries a new trip. JOBSONFIRE was a revelation stepped up to 3m at the start of the year and could take all the beating here if returning in the same form. Bryden Boy is another who ended last season in winning form but Dell' Arca is impossible to predict nowadays.
