The consistent Red Charmer scored over track and trip last time but is now 11lb higher having been placed in both subsequent starts. ROUSAYAN (NAP) is preferred as he also won over course and distance in May and is only 3lb higher today. Strong Man had an off-day behind Red Charmer on his latest visit but is capable on his day while Naoise finished a long way behind the selection earlier but has won over a shorter trip at the track since. Suzi Icon has been attempting to make all over longer trips without success and makes more appeal than Silver Rime and Hatsaway.
