This looks something of a lottery but TREMOR went close carrying a penalty over course and distance on his reappearance and is taken to confirm running with Marion's Boy now handicapping. The Godolphin colt Historic, the returning Wren and Exhibit are others handicapping for the first time with Ryan Moore on board the latter despite partnering Sir Michael Stoute’s Mars Landing last season. Bill The Butcher is a maiden winner at Southwell while Sword Beach placed in a higher grade at Windsor. Tom Collins went close at Doncaster last time and Honore Daumier was beaten only a neck over 6f at Kempton.
