Formscan - Fingal's Hill won this last year off just 1lb lower and although he hasn't won in four starts since, connections try first-time cheekpieces in a bid to get him back to his best. Fourofakind steps up in class off his new mark after a pair of wins at Perth and he may have more to come at the age of five, but top-weight PUNTA DEL ESTE is preferred. The winner of a similar race off 5lb lower at Ayr in April, he might make a winning return for the Skelton yard, whose horses are in great form.
