Bernie's Boy went close when dropped back to the minimum trip here last time but Distant Applause is preferred on last month’s third at Chelmsford behind Englishman. But a line through the latter gives TARSEEKH every chance on an earlier second over course and distance and it could be the turn of Charlie Wallis’s charge again. Stablemate Indian Affair can also be given a chance but Tawaafoq has a bit to find with the selection while Our Man In Havana finished in front of At Your Service when runner-up at Wolverhampton earlier.
