Calon Lad produced a much better effort when stepped up to 1m3f here on his handicap debut and should be involved in the finish. Zhuba could also figure if forgiven a below-par run at Nottingham last time while Aminah and Pink Mischief have bits of form that give them both a chance. Ebony Roc couldn't cope with a 7lb rise for scoring on the Polytrack when only fourth at Chepstow last week and the vote goes to THE WIZARD OF AUS. He looks sure to be suited by this longer trip judged on his earlier efforts over 1m2f and is dropped in class today after a modest handicap debut at Sandown.
