Altiko Tommy won a handicap at Lingfield on his reappearance and is upped 5lb while Al Mansor ran well for third at Kempton on his return. But there is a few less exposed types in this including Hart Stopper, who was placed over track and trip earlier and makes his handicap debut along with MULZIM. The latter never threatened when fourth at Chelmsford recently but the runner-up is rated 75 and Ed Dunlop’s colt should figure on that form. Bazwind failed to cope with a 3lb rise last time having won over a mile here before that.
