Louis Vee made all to land a hat-trick of Class 7 events here last time. But he's facing a tougher task in this higher grade and RISE TO GLORY is preferred. The latter included three wins at this track amongst last year's five victories and has slipped down the weights since the turn of the year. Whipphound has the form to get involved but a high draw doesn't help and Cadmium Loch doesn't appeal as one likely to follow-up having won for the first time since 2011 over 5f here recently. Diamond Vine is usually thereabouts at this level without winning but Dark Lane is on a decent mark if back to his best.
