MODERN STYLE (6) made a mockery of his opening mark when landing a contest at Exeter by 25L a month ago. Followed up five days later and holds every chance with the handicapper yet to catch up. Strongly fancied. SPARTAN TIMES (1) returned from a layoff with a narrow course and distance success two weeks back. Claiming jockey takes over which is a handy help. Likely challenger. ASK A SAINTE (3) showed something to work on across five attempts for his previous stable. Joins a good outfit and can improve. Respect. MERRY SHUIL (5) could find a return to 2m in his favour based on his second placing two outings ago. Not ruled out.
