Flaming Charmer won last year’s renewal off a similar mark but it was heavy going on that occasion and OXWICH BAY (NAP) is preferred. The latter finished a close-up fourth over these fences on his reappearance and chasing debut and Evan Williams’ charge will be suited by this longer trip. The Kings Writ won over 3m in testing going at Exeter in April and is 11lb higher today and Stage Summit is preferred on a recent fifth at Hereford behind the progressive Roll The Dough. Beallandendall and I See You Well have won over fences in the past with the latter making more appeal off his current mark.
