Preference is for LINCOLN ROCKSTAR, who won 3 handicaps here last season and returned to form at Leicester a fortnight ago. Kitsune Power is feared most.

Verdict
C&D winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win here in April. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (12f, firm, 13/2) 32 days ago, badly hampered. Must enter calculations.

Course winner this time last year and acquitted himself well in defeat more recently, latest when third of 5 in handicap over C&D (good) 24 days ago. Visor on first time. Ought to give another good account.
