DISCREET HERO returned a losing favourite in a tight Class 2 handicap at Windsor last time but had won a higher grade sprint than this at York earlier. He can return to winning ways and is preferred to recent Yarmouth winner Olympic Runner, who scored easily but is upped 8lb. Just Glamorous won nicely in this grade at Haydock having been beaten by Spanish City in a maiden race at Windsor earlier and both could go well but Stormflower is raised in class after dead-heating for first at Lingfield. Bint Aldar was progressive last year and is another to note in a competitive opener.
