Less Of That ended last year with a victory at Ayr and debuts for new connections on her return. But LOTHARIO has the more recent form with a defeat of the re-opposing Baashiq over track and trip with Silverturnstogold further behind. He may well defy a 4lb rise and go in again. Crystal Casque has been beaten less than a length over 7f on her last three outings now while both Sweet Nature and Creek Harbour are not badly treated if back to their best.
