This won’t take much winning and Cometh The Man is sure to be popular having been just touched off at Redcar last week, though he’s been edging up the weights without winning.

DESERT CAT was running over 6f for the first time when runner-up at Carlisle. Eric Alston’s filly can come out best here as long as there is a decent pace.
