Saigon City won twice in 2013 but suffered a few near misses last year and may be better over 1m2f nowadays. Duelling Dragon's Leicester victory was franked when the runner-up won a competitive affair at Haydock on Saturday but he's been raised 8lb. Skinny Love is only 4lb higher than winning for the third time in four starts at Redcar but steps up a grade, though she still makes more appeal than Windsor fourth Living Leader. Evening Attire was behind Duelling Dragon at Leicester but should get closer here and Boots And Spurs has form in this sort of race. EXCHEQUER can race off the same mark as when only beaten a head at Newmarket in September and the promising Tom Marquand claims 5lb. This quicker ground is an unknown but he handles Polytrack so could be worth an interest.
