Old Pals Act was all out to break his duck at Market Rasen last month and may be vulnerable here off a 6lb higher mark as he has to concede 9lb to recent course and distance winner SIR LYNX. It's taken a while for Chris Bealby's grey to come good but he could be worth following now. This is surely too short for Sail And Return while Citrus Mark lacks a recent run. Kastani Beach has improved a little of late, however, while Safari Journey and Noble Witness would both have each-way claims again.
