Most of these are old favourites who pop up every now and again. That was the case with IOLANI at Thirsk a month ago and he will have found the going too quick here subsequently when behind Lizzie Loch and One Last Hug but ahead of Smart Lass and Hugoigo. He’s won over hurdles so the longer trip today will be no problem. Indian Vision didn’t really get the run of the race on his return to action at Musselburgh and is another for the shortlist while Globetrotter tackles a more suitable distance. Sea Art, Kitty's Cove and Robeam add to the interest.
