The veteran Classic Punch is enjoying a new lease of life and was winning for the third time this year when scoring by a neck at Beverley last month. Ennistown returned a disappointing favourite at Salisbury recently but is preferred to stablemate Anomaly while the consistent Croquembouche is upped another 7lb for winning at Windsor on his latest start. Gworn has a shout stepping up in trip and Double Discount is not out of this dropping back down in class. MUJAZIF failed to figure in much better company last time but that was his first start since April when runner-up to the smart Queensberry Rules at Sandown and that form points to a big run here.
