Captain Cat won this in 2014 and ended a long losing run when successful at Kempton last month. Sovereign Debt is back for more having finished runner-up in last year's renewal and should go well but he finished only a neck in front of Irish raider CAPTAIN JOY. The latter won his first start since June when successful at Dundalk last month and Tracey Collins' charge looks good value to finish thereabouts once again at a decent price. Mindurownbusiness was beaten over three lengths last year but has looked better than ever since returning to action and won three of his four subsequent outings while Mister Universe narrowly beat Sovereign Debt at Wolverhampton last time and Lunar Deity here before that so Mark Johnston's colt has decent claims on that form. Big Baz returns from Meydan where he ran well in a Group 2 last month and he also has a shout on his Listed wins at the end of last year.
