Surrender has plenty of experience for a three-year-old and seemed to appreciate the step up in trip last time at Catterick. Putting Green is capable of better after a pipe-opener for his new yard while Diocese is a consistent sort. No Getaway is unexposed and runs in his first handicap so is respected, along with Hello Bertie, while Mance Rayder has placed in two starts for Harry Hogarth at Sedgefield. DORKING COCK has been a bit disappointing since his third at Fontwell but was too keen over 2m last time at Southwell. He still has time on his side and this is not the most competitive of handicaps.
