Ganymede beat a subsequent winner at Uttoxeter last month but flopped on a return visit off this higher mark. Bolister started favourite here back in March but was pulled up and now has plenty to prove. Looksnowtlikebrian may be improving, however, and his yard is in good form but he's conceding 18lb to GOODWOOD MOONLIGHT (NAP). Ian Williams' grey hinted at ability on his handicap debut at Ludlow and has been dropped a further 3lb since. He's unlikely to get a better chance to open his account over timber.
