Fitandproperjob won over course and distance last month but only beat one home at Catterick subsequently. Carpincho is eased in grade while Full Ov Beans may have been a bit unlucky when bidding for a hat-trick at Fakenham as he'd beaten today's rival I Got Attitude by 29 lengths at the Norfolk track earlier. ROYAL RIVIERA would have gone close at Southwell at the start of the month had he not misjudged the last. He can race off the same mark here and can finally get his head in front over the larger obstacles, though we'd expect Egypt Mill Prince to improve markedly on his run behind Massena here last month.
