Alan Swinbank recorded a hat-trick in this between 2009 and 2011 so JOHN DORY is expected to improve. He finished fourth on his debut at Wetherby and is receiving weight from the older Mr Whitmore, also fourth on the A! track on his latest start. Petapenko showed a modicum of improvement when fifth at Haydock while Episode made the frame at Catterick on his penultimate start only to disappoint at this track last time.
