Niseko is noted on handicap debut in a moderate affair whilst Let's Be Happy returned to form last time when runner-up at Lingfield. However, the latter is inexperienced on Turf and connections still seem to be searching for an optimum trip. He may well prove good enough in such a poor contest but CHUNKYFUNKYMONKEY showed first real signs of ability last time when a close-up fourth to Road To Dubai in a slightly higher quality race at Goodwood and further progress will see him on the premises, especially as he's 2lb lower here. Consistent Zamadance seems likely to be in the mix and rates the main danger and Greyjoy showed a bit more last time too and could get involved in receipt of weight all round.
