Megalala, now a 15-year-old, gained his first victory here in 2005 and has won seven times at the track since, latterly in August. He wasn't disgraced when fifth here on his reappearance and should give a good account. Les Gar Gan was placed again at Wolverhampton on Saturday but finished behind Lord Of The Storm at that track in February and is only 3lb better off. ROY ROCKET developed into a course specialist last year and is only a pound higher than when beating Senor George over further here in June - he can shrug off an absence to score again.
