Flipando isn't easy to catch right nowadays but everything fell into place at Wolverhampton last time and David Barron's 10-year-old can never be left out of calculations. Ebraam has more to do than when winning a C&D handicap last month while Angel's Pursuit is better than he has shown so far this year. Mac Gille Eoin looks the type to take advantage of a tumbling handicap mark before long but this can go to IVER BRIDGE LAD, who produced a stunning effort to finish second to JJ The Jet Plane on turf at Meydan earlier this month and handles this surface with equal aplomb. Qadar was engaged to run at Lingfield yesterday.
