This looks a decent renewal. LADRONNE and Deyrann de Carjac finished 1-2 over course and distance less than a year ago. The latter is better off at the weights but is hard to catch right and the former is having a first run since wind surgery so can confirm the form and land this. Northern Bound, another who has had a wind operation, could also go well while Arthur's Quay won at Cartmel when last seen. Karl Philippe, highly tried at the start of the year, likes it here but Getaway Luv has gone off the boil. Pay The Piper has a touch of class but is possibly best over 2m while Burrows Diamond improved when upped to 3m last season.
