Richard Hannon has won four of the last six runnings which brings Puttingonthestyle into the equation and a big run from handicap debutant Promenadia would also come as no surprise. Elusivity finished a length ahead of Obsession at Newmarket last time when they were both behind Iron Step. The latter had beaten Storm Runner in a maiden before that so George Margarson's charge has to come into the reckoning, but a chance is taken on ROYAL REVERIE. He only weakened inside the final furlong on his recent return to action and looks on an exploitable mark stepping up in trip.
