A real teaser to end proceedings as a number of these are old rivals. David O'Meara won last year's renewal and also saddled second Regal Dan, who can race off the same mark. He makes more appeal than Highland Acclaim, who just got the better of Ashpan Sam at Epsom last week and now has a penalty. Fairway To Heaven cashed in on a low mark at Windsor 12 days ago but is 6lb higher, though Frankie rides. Celebration is tough but possibly better over 5f but Fendale has been unlucky a couple of times this year and is now looking well treated. Intense Style should also be competitive but this looks a tall order for the returning War Whisper. SHIPYARD is very consistent and was just caught off this mark at Haydock in May when there was some give in the ground. He looks certain to give supporters a run for their money again.
