Whisky Bravo landed a double when scoring at Yarmouth by a head last month and should be in the mix once again. Bandstand has done all his winning on the all-weather and has been below par so far this year while Legal Bond won his maiden over track and trip last season but is having his first start since September. Nasharra has a shout off his current mark but the speculative vote goes to MANDALAY KING who scored off an 8lb higher mark at this time last year.
