Medic Man only won by a short-head at Hereford earlier this month and is 10lb higher now, though Lucy Gardner claims 7lb. Spinning Waters has place claims but C&D winner Well Green is proving hard to predict and never threatened in an amateurs' race at Sandown last time. THE COMPOSER looks well treated on his return from a break as he was second off this mark at Wincanton last April. This is his time of year and he could go close in a modest opener.
