11/4

Caught late on when beaten a nose over C&D on good ground at the end of last month. Wore a tongue tie and cheekpieces for the first time on that occasion and interesting to see if they work for a second time following a 6lb rise.

Form: U/05P-52

17/2

Maiden after 13 starts but put in a career best performance when third of eight over 2m5f at Ludlow (good) off this mark in April. Step up in trip looks likely to suit.

66/1

BHAKTI won off a 4lb lower mark when successful on his debut for this stable but disappointed at Perth last time out. The cheekpieces fitted for the first time here can see him register a third success at the chief expense of the in form Arboretum who is chasing a hat-trick today while last time out winners Sierra Oscar and Eddy are taken to fight it out for third.
