Cocktails At Dawn and Chasse En Mer should do better dropping down in class, but Homer Run moves in the opposite direction after landing a couple of lowly handicaps. Kilmurvy has the stronger form including a creditable fourth to Upswing at Newbury last time. But he may prefer softer going and IRISH BUCCANEER is just preferred. The latter went close over track and trip before posting another good effort at Uttoxeter last month and looks up to scoring off his current mark. Harry Hunt hasn't won over timber since 2012 but is back on a winning mark and not easily dismissed.
