Mighty Leader may be a teenager but he’s thrown in on past form and wasn’t entirely disgraced at Southwell a month ago. FIRST DU CHARMIL remains winless but has been surprisingly dropped 2lb since a close-up fifth here last month and this looks his chance. Akkapenko also has a chance if wind surgery has had the desired effect while Seymour Sox, a winner at Haydock in March, has his sights lowered. Kenyan Cowboy has ability but ran a shocker here last time.
