Depth Charge won a claimer over track and trip last time and carries 6lb extra for that while Mac's Power went close at Lingfield earlier when ahead of Mambo Spirit and has the beating of several of these on collateral form including Black Truffle. For Ayman steps back up in trip having placed over 6f recently but another chance goes to DUTCH GARDEN having found only one too good at Southwell on his handicap debut with a couple of previous winners behind. Chelmsford winner Mercury ran well again last time and should also be in the mix.
