Another competitive handicap with the weights headed by Byline, who proved too strong for favourite Musicality at Leicester but is now 7lb worse off. Man Of Promise beat the odds-on Cold Front at Yarmouth in June and his third at Ascot last year was smart form. He shouldn’t be far away while Endowed was only beaten ahead here on his first start since wind surgery. Chairmanic won over this trip at Haydock before getting outpaced over 5f at York but Many A Star looked ready for further when third at Pontefract two weeks ago. OWNEY MADDEN (NAP) is a sporting selection given he looked to be coming to hand at York last month when running against battle-hardened sprinters and has been dropped 2lb since.
