Ian Williams won this last year with subsequent Chester Cup and Northumberland Plate winner Ile De Re and will have high hopes that Address Unknown, who'll be partnered by German ace Andreas Suborics, can follow suit after he came back to form over 1m4f here last month. But this could be another for Kieren Fallon as THE BETCHWORTH KID is undoubtedly well treated on his best form and should find this a little easier than recent tests. Montaff finished just ahead of the selection at Newcastle in June but is 4lb worse off here while Ermyn Lodge is high enough in the weights at present and Bernie The Bolt has been a long way below his best this year. York third Lyric Street has every chance if he stays this longer trip, however, and Western Prize has been in decent form lately but has crept up the ratings as a result.
