Knight Of Noir ran well behind Wynford at Market Rasen earlier this month but had earlier finished behind Theatrebar when that one was second to Sky Pirate at Worcester. Tempestatefloresco won the Summer Cup here last year but is better over fences. ENNISTOWN appeared back on song on his reappearance at Worcester and that should have blown away the cobwebs. He is 3lb higher now but Rex Dingle again takes off 10lb. Bodega isn’t ruled out off bottom weight but Dell' Arca is not easy to catch right nowadays.
