A host in with chances but last-time-out winner LIPSINK gets the nod to notch his third success of 2024 having not had much racing at a bare 5f this season. His main danger may emerge from Existent, who is on a lengthy losing run but has tumbled in the weights and has his first outing on the all-weather since February 2022. Dark Kestrel and Acklam Express are another couple fancied to go well, too.
