DECENT FELLA ran well without winning last season but notched up a deserved success at Newmarket on his reappearance. Andrew Balding's charge takes another drop in class here and looks capable of following up. April Fool landed a double earlier this month but the handicapper looks to have caught up with him now while the same can be said of Ocean Legend, who has yet to score on turf anyway. Beverley winner My Gacho should go well again, but Tariq Too has more scope for improvement and could prove a bigger threat.
