Sisyphus did well to score here earlier this season when pulling hard early on but has plenty on with topweight and ALDRETH makes more appeal despite continuing his search for a first win of the campaign. Mick Easterby's charge scored over course and distance just over a year ago and has gone well at this venue the last twice, filing the runner-up spot on both occasions. He's best on the good ground and should go close despite a 3lb rise for his latest run. Kiwayu has been going along nicely on his last three starts and will be competitive if his stamina holds out on this first sortie over 2m on the Flat. He too has conditions in his favour, whilst former Ballydoyle inmate Giant Redwood is one with no such stamina issues who looked on the way back last time and remains lightly-raced. Braes Of Lochalsh has each-way claims.
