Sureness appears to be suffering from a lack in confidence but Gee Hi is sure to strip fitter for last month's run at Perth and Whats Left will almost certainly make a better chaser than hurdler. LEMONY BAY wouldn't be winning out of turn and should stay this longer trip. He gets the nod ahead of Worcester runner-up Book Of Excuses and Finding Your Feet, who didn't have much to beat last time and is 8lb higher here.
