Oneoveryou was probably a bit fortunate to score over the minimum a fortnight ago as the runner-up, AGGRESSION (NAP), was disqualified and placed third for interfering with the fast-finishing Russian Soul. The latter is consistent without winning these days but the selection was having only his fifth start and should reverse the places over the longer trip. Togoville hasn't won for over a year but gave notice of an imminent victory from this sort of mark when a close second to Dougan last month. Grey Danube has won this for the past two years and though well beaten over an extra furlong when last seen in the spring he's better over this trip and could have been primed for a hat-trick. Plough Boy, who just got up to catch Captain Cullen over 7f three weeks ago, hasn't run over a trip this short since his debut in 2013 and the latter can reverse the form. Chiclet has won five races around here but all over the minimum trip.
