Recent C&D winner VIOLA PARK looks the obvious angle in this contest. The three-year-old has a decent record on synthetics (3 from 12) and a 4lb rise for a 2L success looks rather fair. He should once more have the better of Loveatfirstsight, so it is the stable switcher Bell Heather that is feared most. Patrick Morris has a very well treated horse on his hands if he can rejuvenate this once decent handicapper and it's feasible that he'll think he's running loose dropped into Class 6 company for the very first time in his career.
