Course regular BLACK CAESAR romped home by seven lengths over track and trip last time and a penalty is unlikely to anchor him in this if in the same mood. Good Luck Charm is another who likes it here and scored over course and distance before failing to figure at Goodwood. King Of Swing is upped 9lb for an easy win at Chelmsford but East Coast Lady scored at the same track back in May and can race off a lower mark today. Habbad ran poorly at Kempton last week on the back of a win at Doncaster while Field of Vision recorded both wins so far over shorter trips.
