Schmooze is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and Paul Hanagan's presence is a bonus though she hasn't run well in her last two starts. Paddy's Rock doesn't win very often and has gone up again after being beaten a head here last month while CHAMPAGNE RULES is another who hasn't won often enough. But he followed a surprise victory at Nottingham with a staying-on effort on a return visit and could be good enough. Adherence gained his only victory over 1m6f at Wetherby and didn't run well at Redcar last time while Dream Free looks a bit high in the weights on what he's achieved to date and London Glory is better over further.
