Most of these have fancy entries but only a couple have had a recent run. Peacock beat a Marco Botti-trained runner at Kempton recently and the local handler takes him on again here with Nottingham maiden winner Puissant. Festive Fare is another Kempton winner where he landed the odds with the minimum of fuss back in February. Algaith returned an easy winner at Wolverhampton in October and Paul Hanagan prefers him to Mustadeem while Golden Horn just held on to win at Nottingham on his debut. But DISEGNO found only subsequent Dewhurst runner-up Kodi Bear too good at Ascot in July and the Dante and Derby entry gets a speculative vote to make a winning return for the Stoute yard.
