Off the track since 2018, Uber Cool returned to action with a victory over a shorter trip at Chester in May but is 5lb higher. The progressive CALL MY BLUFF also scored at Chester more recently to complete a double. The runner-up has won subsequently and another bold bid is expected under French rider Mickaelle Michel. Island Brave posted a better effort in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle last time while Indianapolis faced a more difficult task at Newbury last month and is preferred to East Asia of Ian Williams’ runners. Indigo Times is proving best on the all-weather but Cleonte won this off a higher mark back in 2018.
