Unexposed and improving MAZAMORRA should be able to follow-up on his facile success over course and distance despite being 8lb higher in the weights. Marco Botti's runner found life easy on just his second handicap start last time and with more likely he should be tough to beat over his optimum trip. Hail Bold Chief is clearly on form but only just scored last time so will find in tough to land a hat-trick from a revised mark while Harting Hill gained a deserved success last time but again might now be in the grip of the assessor. Snow Magic won over course and distance on handicap debut last time so looks a big threat but Mazamorra could still be ahead of the handicapper.
