Mountbatten was disqualified after finishing first past the post at Chelmsford in January when a banned substance was found. He reappeared there last month and led until collared close home. Depart A Minuit couldn't get close to challenge on the same track at the beginning of the year and the form hasn't worked out. FOURTH TIME LUCKY has been narrowly beaten in all starts and didn't get the clearest of runs at Catterick. With the front-running Tickets also likely to make a bold bid from the front, Richard Fahey's charge can come from behind and land this.
