Preference is for HIROSHIMA, who was a fine fifth off this mark in the November Handicap at Doncaster on his final run of last term. He should be cherry-ripe following his reappearance at Nottingham (flying too high in what was a strong listed race) and the forecast slower ground here will help, too. Dancing Harry should also come on for his reappearance and is next best ahead of Ginistrelli.
