King's Caper drops down in trip and stablemate Huboor is upped in distance after finishing runner-up over a mile at Haydock. Hms President has been raised 5lb after going close at Newbury and will handle the underfoot conditions while a couple of these make their handicap debuts. Dual novice winner Ilaraab landed the odds at Wolverhampton recently but there cut in the ground when THRONE HALL (NAP) made a winning reappearance over 1m1f in a maiden at Hamilton a fortnight ago and Kevin Ryan’s colt may prove the one to side with given the ease of that victory.
