Havana Hermano, only beaten a head here last month when failing to give 21lb to the winner, should put in another good shift off an unchanged mark with conditions to suit. Outonpatrol has only the three runs over fences but Alan King has wasted no time in going handicapping with the Stowaway mare, who ran a solid race when a good second at Worcester last run. She's up 4lb but there should be more to come. WISHFULL DREAMING shoulders a 7lb penalty for his smooth course and distance success but will be hard to beat if repeating that performance.
