Three of these are penalised for winning including the returning Magnetised, who scored in testing going at Doncaster in October. Rogue Assassin returned a shock 40/1 winner at Haydock on his debut and steps up in trip along with CONFIDE. The latter was conceding plenty of weight to younger horses when scoring easily at Redcar last month and David O’Meara’s charge should make another bold bid today. Both Ilaraab and Khayyaal look likely to improve though need to while Liberty Power is a full brother to a couple winners and preferred to Lucas of the newcomers.
