Tewafeedj won off a similar mark at Thirsk last season and has a recent comeback run under his belt. Regal Mirage should also be sharper today and landed a hat-trick last summer but BOB MAXWELL has slipped down the weights and gets a speculative vote in an unappealing handicap on his placed effort in soft ground at Doncaster in March. Thorntoun Care went close here in September and the lightly-raced Leonidas may do better sporting first-time blinkers today.
