Plenty with claims in this but a tentative vote goes the way of YOU DA ONE. He landed the odds in good style at Kempton last time and last year's form on Turf is among the best on offer. Red Refraction and Sand Boy failed on their handicap debuts earlier this year and others look more dangerous. Benoni won well at Haydock and is the only handicap winner in the field although Dominate is dropped in class and can also figure. Gigawatt, Freddy With A Y and Fletcher Christian all return to action having ended last season with victories in maidens and Grand Denial is not out of this either.
