SIR MIKE made a winning start for Luca Cumani at Yarmouth last month. This looks no tougher despite a 6lb rise and he can go in again. Kakatosi made the frame at the same track last month but still looks in the handicappers grip while Dance And Dance has failed to take advantage of his slide down the weights and hasn't won since 2012. Angelic Upstart scored at Wolverhampton last month and won over 7f on the July course here in August. He makes more appeal than Tenor and Tatting, although the former is helped by an apprentice's 7lb claim.
