Mujaazef was off for a year and he's finished last in his two recent runs. Padlock scored at Southwell a year ago and was racing out of his class subsequently. He looks the type to progress through handicaps this campaign and should make a bold bid to gain his first success on the track. Colour Guard didn't perform badly in a better race than this when last seen here in January but Can You Conga looks a bigger danger after an excellent opening run at the last meeting when beaten into third in a battle of heads. Double Dealer looks well enough treated and should be taking advantage soon but this can go to the maiden GENERAL MARSHALL, placed five times for Aidan O'Brien in a disappointing juvenile career but the type his current trainer does so well with.
