Sir Oliver has won four times this year though has to race off an 8lb higher mark back on the all-weather having landed a double at Epsom. If You Dare failed to cope with a 4lb rise last time having scored at Chelmsford earlier while Lough Cutra drops down in trip after running free over a mile at Lingfield on his debut for new connections. ALABLAQ was having only his second outing for David Evans when slowly away over track and trip and finishing fourth. A better start today could see him in contention and he gets a speculative vote.
