Pembroke House is usually thereabouts but not a straightforward ride and has a poor strike-rate. Only five, Newberry New has been placed in both starts to date this season and is starting to look well treated but a case can also be made for FREDDIES PORTRAIT, who had decent form as a novice at the start of the year. He was last on his reappearance at Haydock but that should have blown away a few cobwebs. Timon's Tara and Sunny Ledgend are hard to catch right and Key To The West returns from a break but Glenforde should be capable of better.
