Several of these are course and distance winners including ITSABOUTIME, who gained his first-ever victory last month. Helen Nelmes' grey is only 2lb higher so can go in again. Sergio is still a maiden and appeared to be better suited by 3m at Musselburgh last time but Ted Bach won a Class 4 handicap over 2m3f here in February and would have to be respected in that kind of form. Big Picture won a Ffos Las handicap in December though that was on heavy going and he fell at the first on his chasing debut at Stratford last month.
