ALKETIOS ran below par at Sandown last month having lost his position early in the race but he's worth another chance in this given he'd beaten a subsequent winner to land a maiden at Haydock before that. Border Bandit has won three of his last four starts but has been upped only 3lb for his latest victory at Ripon where he beat Wannabe King. Green Howard should go well off his current mark but is closely matched with Barren Brook on running at York. Hakuna Matata drops down a grade and is not out of this either.
