Paul Nicholls relies on BLACK CORTON in this. The latter won a Listed novices event at Kempton by 10 lengths last month and can land his first handicap. Who Dares Wins looks first-string ahead of Board Of Trade of Alan King’s duo having run well for fourth in a Grade 3 handicap at Chepstow recently and For Good Measure has every chance on his latest second over 3m here. Midnight Shot and Traditional Dancer bid for trebles off higher marks with the former winning here last month while Red Infantry escapes a penalty for picking-up a conditionals’ race at Sandown just six days ago. Arctic Gold and Fortunate George return to action off 7lb higher marks having both ended last season with wins and Meme's Horse is upped in class after landing a maiden at Newton Abbot in April.
