GUVENOR’S CHOICE is penalised for making all over track and trip a fortnight ago but there looks plenty more to come from Karl Burke’s grey and he can go in again. The Lincoln Lawyer was expected to show improvement at Newcastle last time but returned a losing favourite and Mr Reckless may prove a bigger threat along with Dance Me, who steps up from 7f. Shakour is a half-brother to six winners including the high-class stayer Order Of St George and is preferred to the other newcomer Black Medusa.
