Calrissian was only beaten a neck over 1m here last month but may not want to go much further. Vaguely Spanish hasn't shown much this year while Bridge That Gap has no form on Turf. Belrog appears out of sorts but Mixed Message may do better after a pipe-opener over course and distance and could be the chief threat to WARLU WAY. Mick Easterby lowers the sights of his eight-year-old, who is back over the distance at which he finished fourth at Newcastle early last month.
