Lava Lamp paid the price for setting too strong a pace when only third to First In The Queue over 2m at Ffos Las last month. Evan Williams' diminutive gelding will have to settle better if he's to last home over this longer trip and looks vulnerable giving 4lb to HEART OF DUBAI. Micky Hammond's charge has been placed twice on the Flat since winning easily over 2m2f here last month and should relish this stamina test. He's A Hawker needs to improve again to follow up his Uttoxeter win while the mare Sara's Smile has her stamina to prove but Rain Stops Play should be doing his best work at the finish, though is thoroughly exposed nowadays.
