The Iron Bank should be all the wiser for the experience gained on debut and Doolittle Raiders is respected now eased in grade. Preferred ahead of both, however, is EL TIO PIANO, who sets the form standard on his C&D second.
HARLINGTON ROMANCE arrives on a hat-trick and rates the one to beat in her present mood. The main danger may be recent Penn scorer Inner Demons, though a big run from Dreamed A Dream would also come as no surprise.
LADY FROM CHEYENNE faltered in the closing stages at Laurel last time and could improve for the drop to 5f. Rum Therapy and Ruby's Mine are the pair expected to put up most resistance.
SHE'S THIRSTY is expected to build on her 5f course fourth now eased in grade. Norma My Bride and Eternal Tempest can battle it out for the silver medal.
Not the strongest of heats and it slight preference is for MISSY'S HEIR, who posted a solid placed effort over this track and trip last time. Open Petition was a place and two lengths behind the selection that day and he holds each-way claims again, although the dropped-in-class Jeremy's Song is feared most.
HOWBOUTTHEMCOWBOYS has displayed a fair level of ability in both starts thus far and it could be a case of third time lucky for Jamie Ness' charge. Cowboy Calvin has been gelded since his last run and warrants respect, although Rainy might pose a bigger threat on his debut. He has shaped encouragingly in his workouts.
I'M THE LUCKY ONE impressively notched up a double last month and he might be able to strike again whilst the iron is hot. Laythatpistoldown and Snuggley Bear finished second and third respectively in a similar course and distance event recently and they could be left to fight out minor honours again.
WILLOW BOB caught the eye when plugging on for second over 5 1/2f here last time and he has a big chance now stepping back up in trip. Roundelay was just a quarter of a length behind the selection that day so he has to be respected, while Exposed shouldn't be too far away either.
