Winning form on this unique course is always a plus and ATTYCRAN (NAP) beat Cara Court in a better race here five weeks ago when Merry Minster was almost 12 lengths away in fourth. The runner-up prefers softer ground and it's difficult to make a case for the latter reversing the form so Maurice Barnes' charge can defy a 5lb higher mark. Isthereadifference finally got his head in front at Stratford last month but Discoverie weakened quickly here on his latest start in a race in which Forestside ran out when in touch. Champagne Agent may need more time.
