The top three in the weights represent Mark Johnston. Teofonic is penalised for winning a handicap at Catterick while Bear Valley beat Hurricane Rush a couple of lengths at Epsom to open his account. Montataire continued his improvement at Newmarket last week and won a nursery at Ascot before that when less than a length ahead of Challow. The Hannon yard also run three with Ascot maiden winner Geneva Convention making most appeal of them. Global Revival has been done no favours by the draw but other recent winners Tap Tap Boom and Latest Quest make their handicap debuts along with ARC ROYAL and the latter gets a speculative vote in this having found only Frankuus, placed in Listed company since, too good over today’s trip at Haydock on his latest start.
