Tellovoi has won four times since the beginning of the year though rarely runs over a trip this short nowadays and may find this a bit sharp. Coiste Bodhar will be having his 99th start and has won a dozen times. He's dropped to his lowest mark in almost a year and wasn't beaten far at Nottingham a couple of weeks ago. COMPTON RIVER doesn't win often but is now racing off his lowest mark for well over two years so gets a chance to return to winning ways. The three-year-old It's A Wish showed her first sign of form at Redcar and is one of the few here with any scope as fellow youngster Dawn Breaking hasn't progressed from two victories around this time a year ago.
