Max Dynamo hasn’t raced since winning at Fontwell last May when 7lb lower in the weights. Eclair On Line was pulled up on his chasing bow but probably needed the run. FELTON BELLEVUE beat a consistent sort at Hereford at the start of the month and is fancied to defy a 5lb rise in the weights ahead of Lingfield third Doran's Bridge and Fantomas, who probably has the most scope of these but has a welter burden to carry less his inexperienced rider’s claim.
