Last year's winner Osteopathic Remedy is much higher in the weights this time around and as a result will do well to confirm running with third-placed Balcarce Nov. The latter went close in a Listed race at Doncaster on his recent reappearance and can figure along with the progressive Snow Bay. Dandy Nicholls' charge was completing a hat-trick when scoring at Ripon a fortnight ago and may not have finished improving yet, while Hacienda ran better than his finishing position suggests at Sandown last Saturday. However, JUSTONEFORTHEROAD finished a creditable fourth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return, coming home first of the group that contested the race on the far side. Richard Fahey's charge is taken to get the better of Oriental Scot once again and land this competitive handicap.
