Tullamore Dew hasn't won for almost four years but has dropped to a lenient mark as a consequence and ran his best race for a long time in a better race than this at Ascot last month. West End Rocker, the Becher winner of 2011, last ran in March when a fine third in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter. His previous race was a year earlier when a close third behind Monkerty Tunkerty in a similar race to this at Doncaster. Fruity O'Rooney makes a quick reappearance after a moderate run at Fontwell on Tuesday but this looks another for Venetia Williams as SUMMERY JUSTICE, whose last two runs were in Grade 3 company, landed a much better race than this on heavy ground at Newbury in March and has won first-time-back in the past.
