Uallrightharry is 6lb higher than when scoring here last season but he doesn’t have many miles on the clock and will have needed his comeback run at Fontwell. Special Acceptance is tried in cheekpieces after a third at Hereford while Smuggler's Blues went well for a long way when second to a subsequent winner at Chepstow, though was well beaten in the end. IVILNOBLE was a winner on soft ground at Hereford in March and looked to be on the way back at Ascot. Back in the right grade today, Charlie Mann’s seven-year-old may be the one to beat. Rumble B was third at Lingfield in October but beaten when falling next time at Fakenham.
