King Fontaine wound back the clock when winning at Plumpton but is 8lb higher here. I'm In Charge won at Fontwell in the spring but couldn't follow up at Wincanton and has gone up in the weights again since. He's A Bully found little for pressure at Market Rasen last month while Whats Left was pulled up on his chasing bow at Southwell. KASBADALI (NAP) takes a big drop in class and has also tumbled down the weights. He has his first run since finishing a well-beaten fourth at Perth in June but should be too good for these if anywhere near his best. Midnight Request and Kyles Faith are also previous course and distance winners with the former preferred in this grade.
