Ishebayorgrey has won six times around here, the last time a year ago from a 9lb higher mark. Voyageofdiscovery bounced back to winning ways here in November and made a bold bid to defy a 5lb rise a couple of weeks later so should go well. Nisior Donn dead-heated over 7f last week and is up 3lb but third-placed Paddytheirishman was staying on strongly and looks to have a chance of reversing the form, though he has a career strike-rate of 0-32. ALWARDA had performed well over further on her two starts here in November and made no mistake over this trip last month. She's up 7lb but still looks well enough treated to complete a double. Hes Our Music, nine times a winner around here, is on his lowest-ever mark on what will be his 78th start.
