Realignment has been racing over further and become disappointing. He was fancied over 2m4f here last time but was very one-paced and the shorter trip isn't certain to suit. TUTCHEC caught the eye at Ayr last time, staying on nicely over the minimum trip. He makes his handicap debut and looks the one to beat. It's difficult to know what One For Luck is doing carrying top weight, even in this lowly class, while dual winning point-to-pointer True Blue will surely need a more thorough test of stamina.
