REALIGN (12) showed good form in defeat last season before winning on reappearance over 6f at Salisbury last time. Followed home a subsequent dual G1 winner on his debut at Newmarket (Rowley) last season and could prove too well-treated for his rivals off this opening rating. Top weight HAMMER THE HAMMER (1) continues to defy the handicapper this season. Might provide a bold bid once more following wide-margin wins at Southwell and Chester. REDORANGE (9) won well at Chester (5f) last start and also needs to be included. STORMY IMPACT (8) and RUBY'S PROFIT (13) are others to note from an each-way perspective.
