SILVER KAYF fared better last time at Chepstow when eased in grade. He’s been dropped a further pound and could go close in a race like this. Reverting to hurdles, Supakalanistic got back to winning ways at Market Rasen. Meyer Lansky has shown promise and makes his handicap debut while Tight Call has fallen to an attractive mark. Nightboattoclyro possibly didn’t handle heavy going on a return visit to Chepstow last month and Don Juan Du Gouet, Star of Rory and Avantgardist are others to consider in an open-looking finale.
