This is really competitive with jockey bookings pointing to Mayo Lad ahead of the returning Daunt as the best of Richard Hannon's duo. Amy Dorrit and C&D winner Awesome Pearl have claims on their seasonal debuts along with another track and trip winner in Slewtoo. Perfect Fantasy scored over 6f here in March and Relentless Harry won on his debut at Wolverhampton in September. SANDBETWEENOURTOES has yet to win but was beaten less than a length by subsequent handicap winner Bartolomeu at Lingfield on his return and gets a tentative vote in a wide-open affair.
