Polytrack winner Mutual Regard has found life tough off his current mark although he may yet come good. Waterclock is less exposed but his pedigree sends mixed signals as regards today's longer trip and course and distance winner L Frank Baum makes more appeal with a recent pipe-opener under his belt. Filatore takes on better class rivals after a second at Chepstow but the vote goes to TAGLIETELLE. Andrew Balding's charge won over 1m7f at Newmarket before a couple of failed attempts over shorter trips and can return to winning ways dropping back down in class for this.
