TARA ITI has won twice around here and has a 10lb claimer on board so has to be of interest providing the ground doesn't ease. Atreides is yet to win though he's another with a claimer on board and is probably on a fair mark. Tellmesomethingood didn't get the run of the race on his handicap debut at Lingfield though may prefer a stiffer test of stamina. Birdman Bob won here last month but then ran poorly at Lingfield but the lightly-raced Commanding View makes his handicap debut having run well for a long way on his comeback at Warwick.
