Boucher Garcon made all for an easy success in this 12 months ago but has a much higher draw this time around and is 8lb higher. He went close on his reappearance at Redcar, however, so has to go on the short-list again. Dartrix beat Chosen One at Newcastle on Saturday under Connor Beasley but now carries a penalty and top weight Mr Mo Jo is probably just as interesting in first-time blinkers. HERE NOW AND WHY has won five times, four of those victories coming over the minimum trip. He rarely runs a bad race and, though having a little to find with Boucher Garcon on the form book, is entitled to give supporters a run for their money on his return to action from an inside draw.
