Putra Pekan was a generally progressive sort when conditions were in his favour last term and made a most pleasing return when a comfortable winner of the Kempton's Jubilee handicap earlier in the month off a mark of 95. He looks ready for a step up in class but Zilch struggled to recapture his juvenile form for Richard Hannon last term and made little impact on his first start for new connections in March. Down To The Woods is another on the downgrade and disappointed last time after picking up a weak claimer on the sand earlier in the year. Muchea is not the force of old but has been running creditably in valuable handicaps and may rate the biggest danger.
