Topweight Phildari ran well enough on his second run back following a three-month break when chasing home Kick For Touch at Huntingdon recently to warrant the vote in this handicap. Paul Webber's gelding is back to a fair mark now and, with improvement to come, he looks the one to be on. Here Comes Henry has been dropped a further 2lbs by the handicapper since his most recent start and should again be thereabouts. West Paces and Sir Cumference are both unexposed but do appear to be particularly well treated on their debuts in this grade, while Jonjo O'Neill's Step In Silver is probably better than he has shown of late. Abbeyknock Boy ran well enough at Warwick last time to have each way claims in this company.
