It’s difficult to be confident about any of these. Ertidaad recorded his first win in 29 attempts over a mile here last week and is penalised while The King's Steed was winning for the first time in 21 attempts when successful at Ayr but has been beaten since. Outlaw Torn and Nouvelle Ere could return to form at any time of their current marks, Master Of Heaven finished ahead of Understory when placed here in October but a token vote goes to TED’S BROTHER with a recent outing under his belt having gone close over today’s trip at Ayr in June.
