Three of these were last-time winners but Low Profile was successful over 1m6f at Wetherby and Breathable’s victory at Beverley came over 1m2f. Roundhead won over 1m1f at Musselburgh and will have his stamina to prove so this can to SEMPRE PRESTO, who was no match for Multellie last time at Pontefract but still has a bit of scope over this trip. Reactive makes his handicap debut but needs a lot more.
