Rockweiller ended last season with victory in a seller and could figure if fully tuned-up on his first start for new connections, while Amazing Blue Sky makes a quick reappearance after finishing runner-up in an amateurs' race at Pontefract on Monday. Lord Lansing and Hits Only Jude have place claims off their current marks, but HOT SPICE makes more appeal. He shaped well enough on his comeback and handicap debut over a mile at Newbury, but John Dunlop's charge should come into his own over middle-distances and is potentially well-handicapped stepping up in trip for the first time.
