Winning point-to-pointer Remind Me Later makes his handicap debut with a big weight and hasn't shown much in novice company. Paul Nicholls wouldn't be running a four-year-old in this without good reason and though CELESTINO doesn't look a stable star he's shown enough to suggest he will be good enough for a weak handicap such as this. Billy My Boy showed his first sign of ability when making a bold bid to make all at Chepstow and this doesn't look much tougher so he has to be respected but War And Contrition weakened quickly after leading to the second last at Warwick and may need a bit more experience.
