Trainer Bryan Smart is looking forward to this with HENRY MORGAN, who won over course and distance in a maiden last time out and now goes handicapping from a mark of just 60. With the ground again to his liking and improvement anticipated he can win a mediocre contest. Monte Mayor One is a decent yardstick at this level and should go well, though he is weighted to the hilt, while first-time blinkers could have a positive effect on Saxby, who comes from an in-form yard. Amoureuse is respected after rising just 2lbs for a Carlisle win, though Henry Morgan is nominated.
