Entangling has gone close in both outings since scoring at Lingfield in December but Kyllachy Gala failed to cope with a 6lb rise last time having also scored at Lingfield earlier. All Yours won over 2m here recently though landed a hat-trick of course wins over shorter trips last autumn and has every chance while Sky Defender has won over 1m2f, though attempts this longer distance for the first time. DEAL A DOLLAR has cut little ice over further recently but recorded both victories so far over today’s trip and gets another chance in an open contest with David Simcock’s yard in fine form. Calling The Wind and Stamford Raffles have some improving to do at this level if they are to figure, though the latter scored over 2m on this card last year.
