Wincanton fourth Mr Cardle is saddled with top weight on his handicap debut and that's off-putting. Hand On Bach is still awaiting a first success but wasn't beaten far at Ludlow on his return to action and Johns Luck won over track and trip before his third at Chepstow. Another 5lb hasn't done him any favours, however. CASH INJECTION has been tried twice over 3m, finishing fourth at Chepstow in March and sixth at the same track in September. He could be the pick of the weights today, though blinkers might encourage Mystic Appeal to rediscover his best form.
