MYMATECHRIS completed a double with a nine length victory over track and trip last week. He's probably facing a hefty hike in the weights for that success and can shrug off a penalty in this. Thecornishcowboy has tumbled down the handicap and went close to taking advantage at Kempton last time but Sparkling Ice will find this tougher after landing a couple of plating races. The lightly-raced Sea Vision may be capable of better but Classic Mission is enduring a bad case of seconditus.
