Maller Tree appears to be back in the handicapper's grip but Bathwick Man won this in 2012, though usually needs a run to put him straight. Miss Sassypants, Astaroland and Kelso third Iora Glas appear closely matched at the weights and wouldn't be a surprise to see any of that trio in the firing-line but KNIGHT BACHELOR looks the one to be on. Lightly-raced, Warren Greatrex' maiden was well backed when runner-up at Wincanton in March so is obviously thought capable of better. Paul Webber's pair Bayley's Dream and Run On Sterling have become disappointing and both sport headgear for the first time today.
