Sir Mark Prescott trains stayer GODSEND (2) where connections likely had this in mind for some time. Kicked off the season with a smooth reappearance success over 2m at Nottingham in May and well-drawn in stall three can take his record to four from four in cheekpieces. CONTACTO (3) looks the main danger. Could easily find further improvement following his promising return to action when fourth behind a smart performer at Goodwood (2m) during May. Stepping up to 2m won't pose any issues for the unexposed TRYFAN (9) who kept on steadily to land a lesser handicap at Salisbury last time. HARDY BLOKE (18) brings proven form on this surface and cannot be dismissed from near foot of the weights.
