Brillare Momento has dropped to a lenient mark but it’s a long time since she showed any worthwhile form. Mountain Rock has switched to an in-form yard and has run on the Flat since second in a Plumpton maiden. Raven's Tower might need this but Kelso winner Floki is on the upgrade and is less exposed than Uno Mas. Christian Williams’ prolific winner looks high enough in the weights now and was well behind GONE PLATINUM (NAP) here last month. The latter then won over fences off this mark at Market Rasen and is in the form of his life so will be hard to beat again.
