There's a bit of a cloud hanging over Paul Nicholls' yard at present so Dualla Lord may be worth opposing. The seven-year-old was just out battled by Nelson's Bridge over further here last time but may not appreciate a drop in distance. URBAIN DE SIVOLA has had a break since beating Ranjaan by 10 lengths at Newbury but the runner-up has boosted the form in his absence and Nick Williams' charge looks the one to beat today. Point-to-point winner Definite Memories and Like Ben may need further but Giordano Bruno will have benefited from his comeback run behind Darlan here last month and has possibilities.
