The son of Camelot appeared to have plenty in hand on that occasion and is hard to oppose with his rider's claim negating the 6lb penalty. Tailorman and Polling Day are recent course winners to consider but they will need to find more off their new marks, while Bulldog Spirit completes the shortlist. Whatsgoingonmarvin looked much improved when upped to 1m5f last time and should have scope to improve now handicapping, he made all last time and in this smaller field may be able to dictate again from the front.
