Bookiesindexdotnet got off the mark over C&D last month and fifth-placed Mr Hendrix boosted the form when scoring over track and trip on his latest start with Finalist behind. The latter re-opposes on much better terms, but has a six length deficit to make up and that could prove beyond him. However, SHOUT FOR JOY is preferred to both as she ran her best race over today's trip on the turf at Lingfield during the summer and, fresh from a break, Richard Hannon's filly is fancied to score on her handicap debut.
