Course and distance winner AZRAEL just failed to catch the winner at Leicester on his latest start. The third horse has subsequently won and Alan McCabe's charge can come out best in this lesser company. Comrade Bond is upped in class after last month's third over track and trip while Excuse To Linger has come up short off his current mark so far this season. Fantasy Gladiator has separated a couple of poor efforts with a victory over track and trip but Whipper Snapper makes more appeal back over 7f.
