It's hard to get away from Liberate, who is fancied to cope with his 6lb penalty now that he has proved his well being. Mighty Kitchener and Hits Only Life ca pose a few problems, while Trick Or Treat has scope to improve now that she tackles a more appropriate distance for her pedigree. Watch the betting where she is concerned. Hits Only Life is better than he consented to show last time and should appreciate being stepped up in trip again. Derek Nolan takes a handy 5lb off his back and the partnership hold a solid chance of making the frame at a fair price. Mighty Kitchener has shaped as if he can pay his way before too long and, off a mark of just 62, he doesn't face an insurmountable task on his handicap debut. However, Sir Mark Prescott is the master of placement of a well treated individual and the handful of five-day options after this suggests Liberate could easily be good enough to follow a tried and trusted path and run up a nice little sequence.
