Several in-form rivals face the starter in this but Carlisle third Mr Coco Bean needs further nowadays. Retirement Beckons, a course and distance winner, saw daylight too late when fourth at Ayr. Shine On Brendan is chasing a hat-trick of course victories but ESTICKY END (NAP) is in the form of his life and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent a third win in four starts this year. Fergie Time warrants a mention while Samurai Sneddz was impressive after a break at Carlisle and still has scope on Turf.
