After taking advantage of a low looking mark STRAIGHT LACED can follow up under 8lb extra. Still unexposed William Knight's runner was a winner by four lengths last time out and with his pedigree suggesting he'll handle cut in the ground he should go in again. Dancing Storm is consistent and should run his race again despite being put up in the handicap after a narrow defeat while Love Action shouldn't be ignored although he has been well held the last twice. A tricky end puzzle but Straight Laced should follow up if in the same mood as last time.
