Nicholas T beat Inexes at Doncaster last month and has run well again since. But the latter re-opposes on better terms today and can reverse running. Lagenda is still attempting to win his first handicap and looks stuck on his current mark while Dark Devil returns to action raised 3lb for October’s win at Goodwood. LE CHAT D’OR (NAP) was well beaten on his recent comeback but that was the case last season before winning on today’s card. At his best here, Michael Dods’ charge should go close again off today's mark and gets the nod.
