Dolce Courage made a winning debut when successful over 7f at Southwell but is penalised and LEADMAN can make the most of the weight concession. The latter also steps up in trip on his belated reappearance having been gelded since going close at Newbury last year and may prove good enough. Crown Board is the first foal of a Listed winner in France and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
