The veteran Royal Premier wore blinkers for the first time in a long career when scoring over 1m6f at Yarmouth and isn't certain to do so well this time. Kieren Fallon was on board when Muwalla gained his first success on turf at Leicester when trained by James Bethell and takes the ride again for his new handler. The combination look certain to go well while Bethell has a nice middle-distance prospect in Bradbury, who is on a hat-trick after victories here and at Chester for which he hasn't been penalised too harshly. BRASINGAMAN ERIC hasn't had much racing but looked a handicapper to follow when scoring at Beverley last time and a 4lb rise doesn't look enough to foil a double.
