A course and distance winner off a higher mark in 2019, Treasure Dillon has returned in good form this season and should run his race again. There was some promise in Manofmanywords’ return to action at Exeter but it must be significant that Nico de Boinville keeps faith with Plumpton winner FULL OF LIGHT (NAP) even though stablemate Crystal Gazing has already won twice this season. The six-year-old has been raised 5lb but there should be plenty more to come after just three starts under Rules and he holds Bourbali on the form book. Eaton Collina was second to a subsequent winner at Bangor last month but Kenyan Cowboy was a disappointing favourite here and Feivel would have preferred a softer surface.
