Rickyroadboy, who had shown nothing in four previous starts, is carrying a penalty for making all on soft ground at Ripon where he was an emphatic winner. He'd been dropped a couple of pounds before that success and is looking well enough in to make a bold bid for a quick double. Mutabaahy is lightly-raced and scored at Wolverhampton last month though a 6lb rise prevented him completing a double at Newcastle. THE GOLDEN CUE (NAP) was an easy winner of a Sandown nursery in September and showed there was more races in him when beaten a short-head at Nottingham on Saturday. He can race from the same mark here and gets the nod though fourth-placed Sir Hector didn't get the best of runs and can finish closer.
