Last year's runner-up Silvery Moon is 6lb higher this time round and Kastini is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring over track and trip. What About Carlo is another course and distance winner and has finished ahead of Faithful Creek the last twice while Examiner finished third in the Cambridgeshire last time but may prefer faster ground. The consistent Cricklewood Green steps up from 7f and David Livingston may yet come good for Roger Charlton but LATIN CHARM handles plenty of cut and rates a sporting selection in a wide-open affair on his return from a lay-off.
