Lion Beacon had Exclusive Waters well behind when third over C&D last time. He'll be thereabouts once again along with Spillway, a promising third at Kempton on his introduction. Marlborough Man, Rainford Glory and Mosman look likely improvers and newcomers Mercators View and Endorsing are both related to winners and worth noting. However, Andrew Balding has trained three winners in the last week and TOO DIFFICULT could be another as she ran well on her debut at Yarmouth in October with subsequent dual winner Divine Angel behind.
