Cry Fury is dropped in class after a string of woeful efforts over hurdles and on the Flat at Epsom last time. PEARL RANSOM has a bit to find on today's terms with the latter but arrives in much better form having gone close at Wolverhampton on his latest start. Alan Bailey's charge is also preferred to Sublimation, another struggling for form, while the rest have plenty to find at the weights with Beau Sparkle perhaps proving best of them.
