Got No Dollars won this a year ago then completed a double at Chelmsford but he hasn't been in that kind of form though didn't get the best of runs here last time when First Company finished fourth. The latter hails from a yard that can do little wrong so has to be kept on the right side and though Rooful was beaten a long way into second on her hat-trick bid over a mile here last month she can do better back over this trip. PIFFLE led for a long way over a mile here in October and showed that this is her trip with a head defeat at Wolverhampton. She can go one better as Ostilio, who won a Listed race at Redcar back in 2020, is much better on Turf than the all-weather.
