Race preview
Am Still Here offered plenty of encouragement when finishing a close-up second on his chase bow over C&D earlier this month and a 2lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold showing. However, it might be worth taking a punt on handicap/chase debutant CLASSICAL STING. The son of Scorpion should enjoy this step up in distance and Lewis Dobb's 7lb claim could prove crucial. Time Was is also noted.
