King Bertolini is the only runner with a handicap mark but his form is nothing special. It will be no surprise if he finds at least one too good here and that one could be OLD ENGLISH. Mark Johnston's colt ran well from a poor draw at Kempton on his debut in November and will take some pegging back if he can show the same early pace here. Flynn's Boy showed promise on his debut at Leicester last October and is worth noting, while better is expected from Cool Luke representing a yard whose runners go well here.
