One For Harry won at Wetherby in January but finished tailed off in this last year. Maestro Royal has won two of his last three but is climbing the weights while Nuts Well was raised 6lb for winning at Newcastle. But Arctic Gold came back to form at Cheltenham last week and is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Sandown in December. Sandymount has only won a maiden at Southwell so far but is the least exposed of these, though the handicapper has taken no chances. SKY KHAN (NAP) has tumbled down the weights and faced some stiff tasks this season. This is his time of year and he should now be cherry-ripe so a big run is anticipated.
