Ziggy Lee's 2010 victory in this was the last time he won a race and he's 4lb higher today but last year's winner Solemn has claims on his comeback third at Windsor last month. Arctic Lynx went very close at Kempton in February but it's far from certain today's drop back to the minimum trip will suit and WEST COAST DREAM makes more appeal. He had Haajes four lengths behind when runner-up over 5f at Doncaster last time and looks set for a return to winning ways. Love You Louis has been in better form of late and Desert Strike is not out of this racing off a lower mark back on Turf while Bertoliver scored at Chester in September but could only manage fourth in this last term.
