DAISY BOY won a tougher contest than this at Nottingham last time. He's been upped 4lb but Stuart Williams' charge looks capable of going in again. Mister Mayday beat On Demand in heavy ground at Brighton earlier in the month but has been well beaten subsequently and Medal Of Valour was tailed off here last month having won over track and trip before that. Urban Space has been raised 7lb for winning at Chepstow so Be Seeing You may prove a bigger threat off his current mark.
