Lutine Charlie has been threatening to score in similar company of late. He's finished ahead of Piccolo Express on his last couple of starts, while My Scat Daddy has the beating of High On The Hog on his recent third at Kempton and also has a shout. RED INVADER finished runner-up here last year in between a couple of poor efforts on Turf. So it's no surprise to see him back at this track for his reappearance and Charlie Hills' colt gets the vote with a 7lb claimer on board for his handicap debut. Triple Aitch could prove best of the rest.
