Toni's A Star won this back in 2015 and is not badly treated, though races from out of the handicap along with stablemate Beau Mistral. Teepee Time is two from three over course and distance and arrives off the back of a win in an amateurs’ race at Leicester but DAPPER MAN is in great form and takes no prisoners. He was always holding Musharrif at Nottingham last month and, though penalised, could make all again. Foxtrot Knight will likely to be closing at the death, however, and looks a big danger.
