An open looking handicap to kick off proceedings. Curzon Line is on an exploitable mark and hasn’t been out of the first three this Turf season, but his wide draw is a concern, as it is for the busy Energia Flavio. Mitchum nearly picked up his fourth victory of 2016 at Leicester last time, but the handicapper has surely got hold of him now. ATHLETIC showed signs of a revival at Newmarket last time and is taken to edge this ahead of Character Onesie who has some decent form at this track.
