Ted's Brother is a 7f specialist though he was staying on over that trip here last time and deserves another crack at a mile. The veteran's West End Lad and THE OSTEOPATH can never be ruled out and the latter gets the nod as he has now dropped to a mark he looks capable of winning from. Social Rhythm is 7lb higher than his latest winning mark after a very good 2012 but Morocco makes his handicap debut from an in-form yard and has to be respected.
