LET ME BE is penalised for winning a bumper at Aintree last month but scored by five lengths and it could pay to stick with Keith Dalgleish’s charge on that form. Maharashtra never figured on his introduction and the remainder make their racecourse debuts. Of those, It'llcomein is related to winners on the Flat in France and so is the Irish raider Whowonthetoss. Blackwest is a half-brother to a winner over hurdles while the filly On My Command is a half-sister to four winners on the level.
