Wild Mountain has been raised 6lb for winning over track and trip but several of these make their handicap debuts with improvement expected. Lord Gorgeous has been racing in better company in Ireland since winning a maiden and has switched yards while Rainbow Colours won a novices' contest at Ripon in September. OBJECT is a novice winner at Newmarket and having run well for third at York last time, Martyn Meade’s colt may prove good enough in this.
