Fastidious won this last year and returned to form with a narrow victory last month. He was behind Grey Danube on his previous start but the latter is best over a shorter trip and has a bit to find with Indian Landing on their run here three weeks ago. Tracey Collins' charge is in good form, though he's now on his highest-ever mark on his 29th start. HAVE A GREAT DAY just caught Chillie Billie over 6f last week to complete a double initiated with an easy maiden success. He's looked very progressive on both occasions and, with the extra furlong likely to suit, he can overcome another big weight rise. Bubbly Bellini was nine lengths behind the selection a week ago but that was his first start since October and he should get much closer.
