Sacre Pierre has disappointed in handicaps and was almost 15 lengths behind Minella Charmer when the latter finished runner-up to The Grey Falco at Haydock. SERIOUS EGO was last of three at Market Rasen and only beat one home at Kelso the time before but gets heavy going for the first time since scoring at Haydock just over a year ago so gets a tentative vote with the ground less likely to suit Blue Hawaii.
