Only a neck separated STOIC SYD (11) and EGOISTE (4) when they met over course and distance twenty four days ago.

Market support for WELOOF (6) would be noted given his shrewd connections. THE GAME IS UP (13) won over this distance at Lingfield AW and cannot be discounted with first-time cheekpieces worn that day retained.
