DON'T CALL ME won his racecourse debut here way back in 2010 and returns to Southwell for the first time since. Still a decent handicapper on his day, Dandy Nicholls' charge looks to have leading claims on these terms. Patriotic scored over track and trip last month but has plenty to find with the selection while Eutropius has won here before but arrives in woeful form. Dominandros and Red Touch make their respective debuts on the Fibresand and both have something to find in this company.
