SAOI (NAP) is penalised for winning a higher grade contest at Ffos Las. But Callum Shepherd's allowance means he can effectively race off a lower mark today and he can go in again. Southwell winner Cousin Khee has been raised a further 3lb for finishing third at Wolverhampton while Double Discount never threatened on his previous attempt at today's longer trip. Soul Intent is upped in class after winning at Epsom back in July and both Bushel and Asia Minor return from lengthy lay-offs.
