PRYDWEN has now won both starts in handicaps having made a winning reappearance at Lingfield a week ago. He had plenty left in the tank and can continue his good progress in this. Ciotog improved with every start last year and makes his handicap debut on his return. He has more scope than both Baby Steps and Sophosc with the former stepping up in trip, though the latter won three times over further last year. Harbour Vision finished just in front of Eloso here last month though neither threatened.
