PAWS FOR THOUGHT scored over 6f at this meeting on his 2021 reappearance so there's reason to think new trainer Donald McCain will have primed him for his first outing since November and he's 3 lb lower than last year so he might be worth chancing. Last year's winner Broken Spear, the Marwan Koukash-owned Gabrial The Wire and the returning Roman Dynasty head the dangers in an open finale.
