LOULIN took advantage of a slide down the weights to score over track and trip last time with Bluella in third and Amazing Amaya further behind. He can go in again given Slowmo is hard to catch right and ran poorly last time having won here before that. Pearl Acclaim is at his best on this surface and scored off a higher mark at the start of the year while Charles Le Brun debuts on the all-weather having opened his account with a victory at Windsor in October. Tilsworth Rose won at Nottingham in the same month but has yet to win on the all-weather in 17 attempts.
