Sayesse was receiving 14lb from Yuften when runner-up in a claimer last week and retains the same mark. Bodak, who has been tried over a variety of distances, led for a long way over this trip on his debut here a week ago and should be capable of better. RIPPLING WATERS was having his first start for new connections when just failing to concede Munfallet 4lb earlier in the month and has only been raised 1lb so gets the nod over Lily Lily Rose, who battled on gamely to score over the track and trip last time on only her second all-weather start. Will Be King has shown glimpses of ability and has joined Joseph O'Brien.
