Bubbly Bailey scored over the minimum trip here last month and this longer trip will be no problem for the previous course and distance winner. But a 5lb rise may prove beyond him so another chance goes to LARGHETTO, who was caught close home over 6f at Wolverhampton last week and can go one better here. Swendab can race off a much lower mark as he attempts to break his duck on the all-weather and Brighton winner Bookmaker is lightly-raced and may be capable of better. Time Medicean has tumbled down the weights but has done most of his winning on Turf.
