Banquet races off his last winning mark and suggested last time that all the old ability is there, so expect a big run from Tim Walford's horse on his third start back following an enforced absence. However, GOLDEN FUTURE beat a reliably yardstick in Park's Prodigy (runs 15:20) over course and distance when last seen and can go in again up just 4lbs. He's not been with Richard Fahey for long, won't mind if a spot of rain falls and remains capable of better. Miss Ferney is a consistent mare who is yet to win beyond 1m2f but she definitely stays, however a 3lb rise for her Redcar defeat appears a little harsh. Oddsmaker is a triple course and distance winner who would be a threat to all if allowed to dictate now 2lbs lower than when just denied here in April, while Dramatic Jewel would only become interesting if support arrived before his first start on the flat this year.
