Dominate has not won since landing last year's renewal in heavy ground. He arrives out of form but LITTLE PALAVER (NAP) was beaten less than a length when third at Leicester last time and Megan Nicholls is good value for her 7lb claim. Midnight Rider was partnered by today's amateur when scoring over track and trip early in the month while Vincentti is penalised for his recent win at Brighton with Heartsong back in fourth. Course regular Bonjour Steve was still well beaten when runner-up here last week but today's faster surface will suit.
