Four recent winners to consider in this contest. Hamilton winner On The Cusp was well beaten on his only previous start over today's longer trip, while Marino Prince recorded his win at Ayr with plenty of cut in the ground. Ay Tay Tate won by no less than eight lengths at Carlisle on Monday but that was his first win in 21 outings and he has to prove that was no fluke so LUNAR PROMISE looks a safer option. The latter was an easy winner at Kempton last week on his first run since 2008 and remains well treated on his best form.
