Peter Bowen has won the last two renewals and CURIOUS CARLOS can complete the hat-trick after a very encouraging debut behind the odds-on Shantou Bob at Ffos Las. The latter is trained by Warren Greatrex, who runs Warrantor in this. The Turtle Island gelding made a winning start under Rules when scoring at Towcester and will make a bold bid to defy the penalty. Southwell winner Celtic Agent has his first run on Turf but Definite Future arrives off the back of a victory between the flags and Echo Springs is a newcomer worth noting in the betting.
