Pontefract winner Torchlighter failed to last home when stepped up to 7f here for his handicap debut and he should do better back over today's trip. It was a similar story for BLACK CAESAR over 7f at Goodwood last time when a well-beaten third. The latter had won in soft ground at Newbury before that, however, and the Hannon colt makes most appeal in this. Know Your Name is facing a tougher task having beaten Sellingallthetime at Brighton and Kenny The Captain is upped in class off a higher mark after winning at Ayr. Instant Attraction could figure if handling the going while Upholland and Penina have more scope than most of the remainder and could go well.
