Belrog has been thereabouts in similar contests over track and trip of late while the less-exposed Symphony Of Kings ran well on his debut on the Flat at Wolverhampton recently. Both should give a good account but a chance is taken on the returning TACTICUS. Lady Cecil's charge wasn't beaten far when third at Kempton last summer and should have more to offer this year for his new owners. Taweyla has a bit to find on today's terms but Bari is out of a prolific mare and may prove best of those making their belated debuts.
