Whitby Jet has struggled off higher marks since landing a double at Lingfield early in the year. St Paul De Vence has yet to show any benefit for his slip down the weights and Wilfred Pickles is hard to win with nowadays. Aomen Rock has decent claims on his latest fourth over 7f here but a chance is taken on TOP SET. He's looked a non-stayer over longer trips since last year's fourth over a mile at Newmarket and gets the vote with a recent comeback run under his belt.
