Worcester winner Owen Na View is tried in blinkers after finishing last at Newton Abbot. Trust Thomas and Indian Voyage are both previous course and distance winners but the latter was only seventh in this last year. Domtaline has been beaten twice since winning at Stratford and is still 5lb higher while Monbeg River hasn't raced since falling behind Owen Na View at Perth in April, though goes well fresh. HELIUM (NAP) is still 7lb higher than when last successful but a sound run on the Flat recently will have blown away any cobwebs and Alex Dunn's charge is well up to holding his own in this grade. Ulis De Vassy looks best of the rest.
