Capaill Liath had Mr David back in third when landing a claimer over 7f here but will find this tougher. Strictly Silver bounced back with a win over a mile here last month and can figure again, but recent winners Jungle Bay and Emkanaat are upped in class. Noble Deed is better over 6f, though Loyalty is a leading contender as he had Atlantis Crossing behind when scoring at Kempton last month and is only 3lb higher today. NASSAU STORM is without a win this year but has slipped down the weights as a consequence and it could be his turn today after a close-up fifth to the progressive Tasrih at Kempton earlier in the month.
