A winner at Redcar earlier, TROUBADOR defied a penalty and won again at Carlisle last month. Michael Dods’ grey should be bang there at the finish on his handicap debut. Dragon Command also goes handicapping after winning at Hamilton while Endowed was beaten less than a length when third at Carlisle last time. Teenar finished in front of Olcan when placed over 5f at Newcastle but both he and My Kinda Day have something to prove over today’s trip as does Oso Rapido.
