Dutch Canyon likes the track and was clear when falling at the last at Sedgefield in April, though was put up 4lb for that run. SHANROE STREET looks to be back on song and can defy his big weight ahead of Mcginty's Dream, who has lost his way, and recent winners For Jim and Gameface, who have been raised 3lb and 7lb respectively.
