Favourites have won three of the six renewals. GET KNOTTED finished clear of Royal Altitude when third at Doncaster on his comeback and Michael Dods' charge can race off the same mark here. He makes most appeal given Goodnightsuzy and Dutch Law made only modest comebacks over 7f and step up in distance for the first time. Better is expected from both Mountainside and Its Gonna Be Me this year with the former preferred on his second over a mile at Wolverhampton in November and he can figure.
