Kieron Edgar claims 10lb off Shoegazer and David Pipe's charge could run a big race if allowed an uncontested lead, though that's probably unlikely with Uttoxeter fourth Cygnet in the field. Andhaar is a dour stayer while Royal Riviera beat Sansili at Ffos Las but was tailed off next time at Newton Abbot. Tekthelot may not have beaten much at Perth and Westlin' Winds only won a seller at Uttoxeter and over a much shorter trip. MONTERREY seems a significant raider from Shark Hanlon's yard as he was a stayer on the Flat and caught the eye upped in trip at Ballinrobe last time. Another half-mile should be right up his street. Ambrose Princess and Sainglend return from a break, however.
