EL LIBERTADOR is back on a winning mark and ran well behind the progressive Mutual Regard last time with Rodrigo De Freitas well beaten. He gets the vote in this. Tyrur Ted returned from over two years off the track with a decent effort over 1m2f here and should go well while Irish raider Mondego is not out of this as he won twice on the Polytrack for trainer George Baker back in 2009. Herschel could get involved if at his best after a spell over hurdles and Comedy House can make the frame off his current mark.
