Silver Dixie won an amateurs' event at Newbury last time while Whinging Willie went close at Epsom on a couple of occasions in September but hasn't raced since. James Fanshawe sent out last year's winner and FRESH KINGDOM (NAP) won over 1m4f here before running well again off a higher mark at Haydock. He should make another bold bid in this and is preferred to recent Windsor third Dragoon Guard. Qanan has a shout back in this lower grade, however, and Wexford winner Mr Rock is one to note on his debut for George Baker.
