Lesotho is only a pound higher than when second on her reappearance at Kempton while Red Senor turned a Lingfield auction event into a procession two weeks ago and could be interesting with Matthew Lawson taking off 5lb. Personal Touch was successful at Redcar in November but that was over 7f and he may not have the pace for this. Dandy Nicholls has booked Kieren Fallon for bottom weight Come On Dave but the one to beat may be LUPO D'ORO. John Best's gelding is more exposed than most, having run nine times as a juvenile, but rarely ran a bad race in his first season and got to within a length of subsequent Group 3 winner Roger Sez over this trip on similar going at Haydock last July. He's fairly treated on his return.
