AUSTIN POWERS makes a quick reappearance having gone close over 7f at Newmarket last week and gets a tentative vote in a tight contest as one of six sharing the same handicap rating. Viceroy Mac ran well enough in a handicap at Ascot on his return and is preferred to Face Like Thunder, who disappointed at Southwell last month. Mashaheer, Tebay and Gabrials Centurion all make their respective seasonal debuts with the former representing the in-form Haggas yard and perhaps the biggest danger to the selection given Bowler Hat continues to struggle.
