Benissimo seemed to find this trip too sharp at Cheltenham in November but has been struggling to get his head in front over further. Mr Lando has won off a higher mark but was only third last time at Kempton when favourite and was well behind Proofreader at Taunton at the end of last year. Chepstow maiden winner Celldomfed is unexposed but doesn't look particularly well treated on his handicap debut. EYES OF A TIGER also has his first run in a handicap and he gets good ground for the first time since scoring at Clonmel in October. He can make the most of the weight he receives from Polstar. Miami Present and the returning Tiger Trek may be best of the rest.
