Dagher wasn't disgraced on his reappearance on the round course here, despite fighting for his head. He's still got plenty of scope as has January's Polytrack winner Hungerford and the reappearing Bright Flash. Nottingham scorer Stardrifter has now won twice on good to firm ground so will enjoy conditions, though is 5lb higher. The stable also run Darrington but he was behind the fast-finishing SPRYT over 7f at York. David O'Meara's gelding is still a maiden but has been knocking on the door and won't be far away here. Adelasia and Raddeh represent powerful yards but need to improve on recent efforts.
