Plenty with chances in an open handicap but now that LORD KENMARE has finally regained the winning thread he can follow-up last week's smooth victory with a 5lb penalty. Rose Angel also won at the same fixture and she's been raised 8lb but her penalty shouldn't prove too much of an inconvenience. Maal hasn't been able to get his head in front but has surprisingly been dropped 1lb in the weights after his latest second and it will be a shock if he isn't involved. Have A Nice Day is another who is a couple of pounds lower and just 2lb higher than his only success.
