Pat Mustard is penalised for winning on his handicap debut over the course and distance last week with Charlie's Star and The Olympus Man well beaten. Gavarnie Encore failed to get involved last time raised only 3lb for an earlier win over track and trip while Invincible Zeb has yet to benefit for a slide down the weights. Exceedwell, Italian Beauty and Hey You make their handicap debuts along with the latter's stablemate ALMAARDIYAH. The Hannon colt drops down a couple of grades after a below par effort at Newbury and Frankie can steer him home in this.
