GRAND BAZAAR’s Goodwood conqueror won under a penalty at Newmarket last Friday so there is every chance that the top weight will go one better here. My Vision couldn’t quite get to Fiesta De Vega at Haydock but that was a promising reappearance and he makes his handicap debut. Kempton third Fahad still has plenty of scope but this is a better race than those that Billhilly has been contesting on Polytrack. Duke Of Condicote has been raised 4lb for winning over this trip at Haydock but his yard is going well so he shouldn’t be ignored.
