Triptico has a first run since returning to winning ways off a 6lb lower mark at Uttoxeter in May but should be thereabouts if ready to roll. Bally Lagan was just caught at Warwick last month but INDY ISLAND is unexposed over fences and eased in grade after a fourth at Southwell, his first run for Charlie Longsdon. He gets the vote ahead of Lined With Silver, a winner at Worcester in May and only a pound higher.
