Revich recorded a third course victory here in May and was third behind Fools Rush In in this in 2021, just ahead of fellow course and distance winner Boardman. But the latter was only sixth last year behind Percy's Lad and Positive Impact with On A Session one place ahead. The winner is back on the same mark but was better drawn 12 months ago. Liamarty Dreams may be back in the handicapper’s grip for now but is another who goes well here with the latter comment also applying to Master Zoffany. Lord Bertie has the plum draw and this expensive purchase could be well treated on his handicap debut as both wins to date have come on ground with some give but fellow three-year-old SPIORADALTA could offer more value. His only poor run this season came on fast going and he had no luck in-running at Goodwood last month having won earlier over this track and trip.
