Maharashtra opened his account when landing a selling handicap here while Al Gaiya won over a mile at Kempton, though is penalised. Captain St Lucifer went close at Beverley back in September but RECUERDAME posted a better effort over track and trip recently and makes most appeal having won off a 7lb higher mark here early in the year. Roby Mill has yet to win but can figure back on the all-weather today.
