Cahal made all on his handicap debut at Catterick and is upped 6lb. Beautiful Stranger also made every yard when scoring at Southwell in February and Zain Zone was never headed when winning at Epsom last season. Madame Mirasol and Sir Guy Porteous are headstrong types who have attempted to make all in the past while Frankthetank and Imshivalla have also been known to race at the head of affairs. With so many likely to be vying for the lead, TANCRED may well take advantage racing off the pace and on the same mark as when runner-up in Class 3 company at Doncaster in October.
