Ballyare gained his second track and trip victory last month but is 5lb higher and hasn’t won from a mark this high. Lordsbridge Boy has never run here and is 8lb higher than last month’s Nottingham success. LOST MY SOCK has run here three times and been placed each time including when running on after missing the break last time so Tim Easterby’s charge gets the nod. Stay Smart is better suited by another furlong but Captain Corcoran has been going well on Turf and Duran Fentiman replaces an apprentice
