Leonard Thomas has been thereabouts on the Turf of late but has to race off a much higher mark back on the all weather while Exceeding Power has had plenty of chances in similar company recently but has come up short. Wink Oliver is another hard to win with and Ayr winner Oak Bluffs failed to cope with a 4lb rise last time. Le Laitier has a shout having dropped further down the weights but Napoleon Solo and BAILIWICK are less exposed with the latter just preferred on only his second start in handicap.
