CONFECTIONIST (4) is chasing a hat-trick after strong wins coming from the rear in small fields last two. More weight to carry this time but yet to taste defeat on this track and distance, with 3 wins. Hard to hold out again here. ANTON (2) has a great record here and last run is best forgotten as he got back and couldn't get into it. Freshened up & can improve sharply. KING OF THE AIR (9) was slow away & ran on well here first-up before leading but swamped late on a wet track at Hastings last time. Lightly raced and can improve 3rd-up here. The efforts of VITTORIO VENETO (1) have been mixed since a bold win fresh up 5 back. Can figure with a drag into the finish here. OBAN (8) has a sound record on this track and whilst he was only a fair 5th of 6 behind Confectionist here 2 starts back after getting back early, he usually fights on well when on the pace.
