PICANSORT finally opened his account on Turf at the 19th attempt over a shorter trip here earlier in the month. He had made the frame in three previous runs at the track so looks certain to be in the firing-line again despite a 5lb rise in the weights. Big City Boy's victory at Chelmsford was his first in 30 races and he has a penalty to carry while Kylies Wild Card disappointed last week at Chepstow. Roring Samson was third over 7f here last summer and is less exposed than some.
