Dark Lane won a seller at Lingfield and this is tougher while Admiralty got his head in front over a longer trip here in October. DICKIE LE DAVOIR scored over track and trip last time and can effectively race off a lower mark with Jason Hart's claim taken into account. He can follow-up at the main expense of Polar Venture who was beaten on his handicap debut over 7f at Kempton but won his maiden over today's distance. Master Of Disguise can figure as can Greenhead High with the latter dropping down a grade.
