Richard Lee's yard is on a high at present but Tresor De Bontee is having his first start since winning over track and trip in March. Charlie Mann sets a poser by saddling both last week's penalised Wincanton scorer LORD OF HOUSE and Sands Cove. Preference is for the former, who will again be helped by Gavin Sheehan's claim and looks to be progressing. Munsaab has plenty of scope and is likely to be winning soon but Batu Ferrenghi, Regal One and Ironic all failed to complete last time.
