The three previous winners are all penalised accordingly and all also drop back in distance. Summer Name won over 1m4f at Southwell and is harder to fancy in this while Keswick scored over 1m2f at Lingfield. But INTERN finished a close-up fifth over the same course and distance on his latest start in Listed company and David Simcock’s charge should be winning this off a mark of 102. Putto is a half-brother to several winners and preferred to Keir Hardie of the newcomers.
