Living Leader won over 7f on the Polytrack last Wednesday but has picked up a penalty for his troubles. Jenny Powell takes off 5lb again but he's never won off a mark this high. Filosofo is on a lower mark than when second over track and trip last year but was beaten in a claimer last month and is still a maiden. SHIFTING STAR is a course and distance winner who has been running well on the all-weather. He remains well treated and should be thereabouts if what looks an ordinary handicap. Captain George and Flipping could figure if fully wound-up while Squire can be forgiven his latest run over 1m4f and isn't out of this.
