The trio of recent handicap winners, Yurituni, Novabridge and Kyllachy Storm, have all struggled off higher marks since though the latter's victory came over C&D and he could make another bold bid here. BLACK CADILLAC is less exposed having opened his account in a maiden over 5f last time and Andrew Balding's colt could be the one to side with today with further progress expected. Ebraam and Desert Icon are better on the all-weather and Noodles Blue Boy is badly out of sorts at present.
