MOUNT HOLLOW shaped well on last month's British debut over a mile at this track. A multiple winner in France, including over 7f on the artificial surface at Deauville, he looks capable of scoring off his current mark. Justcallmehandsome has won nine times here now and remains on a winning mark, despite a penalty for his latest success, while Downhill Skier has won twice over C&D and is another to consider. Pilgrim Dancer has slipped down the weights and will be taking advantage soon if not today.
