Ingleby Hollow beat DEW POND just under a length at Pontefract in June and they remain on the same terms though the latter is better on this track and has the advantage of a recent run so should turn the tables and land this.

Politbureau is 11lb higher than his last victory which came over two miles while Waltz Darling scored over fences at Doncaster in December.
