Neumond is interesting making his handicap debut, though the handicapper has taken no chances. The mare Glenariff has improved a little lately while Nicholascopernicus should be thereabouts as he appears to have benefited from the switch to Kerry Lee's yard and wasn't beaten far at Huntingdon last month, despite only finishing sixth. Lamblord and Crockery are also worthy of a mention but GLENGRA (NAP), who finished ahead of Neumond at Warwick in March, ran his best race so far at Kempton last time and can go one better.
