Mubtadi had Dandy a long way behind when ending a long losing run with a win at Lingfield. But he is harder to fancy raised 5lb and Mr Red Clubs remains 9lb higher than his win at Wolverhampton last year. Atlantic Affair is upped in trip in the hope of adding to her maiden win back in 2013 while the mostly consistent Scottish Star returns from a lengthy absence but has gone well fresh before. PUZZLE TIME (NAP) landed a hat-trick early last year and went close in a blanket finish at Wolverhampton last time. He looks set to strike now back on a winning mark.
