A couple of these carry penalties for winning including Mewtow, who scored over course and distance in December. But COMPLETION won with plenty to spare over 7f at Newcastle last month and is fancied to show further progress stepping up in distance today. The remainder with experience have plenty to find but newcomers to look out for include Guardiola, a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather, along with De Medici and Perfect Refuge.
