WEIGHTWATCHER: TOLSTOY won off a handicap mark of 94, his rating is now down 9lb to 85.
LONGEST TRAVELLER: ABERAMA GOLD trained by K Dalgleish, Carluke, 271 miles.
ROYAL PARADE made a solid start for a yard that does well with new recruits when a close third at Newcastle and is preferred to Aberama Gold, who only just failed at Lingfield 3 weeks ago. Toussarok is another who arrives on the back of a close defeat so needs considering also.

COME ON JOHN isn’t the easiest to win with but he’s dropped to a potentially handy mark and, granted a good pace to aim at, he could well be up to resuming winning ways in an open-looking finale. Twistaline gained reward for a string of consistent efforts here recently and is feared, along with Red Evelyn Broughtons Flare also makes some each-way appeal 1-2-3: 1.COME ON JOHN (IRE) 2.TWISTALINE 3.RED EVELYN
