Eatsleepracerepeat was second over 7f here two runs ago before filling the same spot over an extra furlong at Wolverhampton. Lady Cecil's colt now tackles handicaps and has to go on the short-list but is closely matched with Cascading Stars on a line through the useful Easy Tiger. Foxy Boris, another handicap debutant, was fourth in a higher grade at Kempton last time though was beaten almost 10 lengths. MARMALAD has been raised a pound since his second to Romance Story at Wolverhampton but is worth another try over a mile and gets the nod.
