Zain Empire made a winning start at Carlisle last month and About Turn also scored on his debut when successful at Kempton nearly a year ago. Both make their handicap debut. Constantine has a shout off his current mark and Baltic Brave went close again at this track despite a 7lb rise for winning at Yarmouth. The latter has the beating of Dutch Art Dealer while BATTLE COMMAND finished ahead of Pactolus over track and trip last time. Peter Chapple-Hyam's colt was beaten less than a length on that occasion and with plenty of scope for improvement, he gets the nod.
