The pick of several appealing candidates is TACTICAL PLAN, who gave the leading pair too much rope when an eye-catching fourth at Haydock last time and, provided the ground remains on the slow side, he should go close here with Jim Crowley back in the hot-seat (he's 2-3 when partnered by Crowley). Sea Suite is greatly respected on the back of his solid Sandown effort, while the unexposed Forty Years On and hat-trick seeking Excellent Echo are others to consider.
