Cosmos Raj won over track and trip last month with Saisons D'Or back in third and is only 2lb higher. End Zone scored off a similar mark at Hamilton early in the year while Brighton winner Tobetso went close again at Haydock last time and has scope for further progress. But Michael Dods has sent out two of the last four winners of this and POL ROGER gets a speculative vote having tumbled 15lb down the weights since April.
