A moderate contest where BANOGE may be the one to side with. Rose Dobbin's eight-year-old returns from a 19-month absence and acts well here and on soft ground. He won here over course and distance two seasons ago and given that he is unexposed he makes more appeal than most. World Of Events ran well in defeat at Sedgefield last month but has it to prove on this slower ground and is taken on. Cut suits Hey Charlie, who represents a yard in decent form and may go better now dropped back in trip, while Devils Delight is out of the handicap but may still be able to join battle for some prize money and will relish conditions.
