Plan A will have every help from the saddle as Paul Hanagan goes for the jockey's title and having only just been held last time has a every chance from 4lb higher in the handicap. Last time out winner Kayaan makes appeal as he won easy on just his second handicap start and with more likely he should overcome his 6lb mark rise. This time though the vote lands on BALATOMA who is looking progressive after a run behind Ashkalara last time and Frankie Dettori looks a significant jockey booking.
