Warden Bond and Tsarglas are recent winners who failed off higher marks on their latest starts though both ran well in second. It took Trust Me Boy 27 attempts to finally win and he's harder to fancy raised 8lb after scoring at Southwell while Youm Jamil has been raised the same amount having won his first race since 2010 at Kempton last time. But HABESHIA (NAP) was beaten only a head at the same track recently and with an apprentice taking 7lb off his back today, Michael Bell's charge gets the vote.
