Spillway makes his debut on Turf under a penalty after a couple of wins at Kempton. Aryal also carries 6lb extra having landed a double with a victory at Beverley last week. Disclaimer finally got off the mark when scoring at Redcar in October and may do better this year but the vote goes to WARRIGAL. The latter beat a subsequent winner when scoring on his racecourse debut at Lingfield last month and makes more appeal than Makin, though Marco Botti's colt opened his account at Wolverhampton in December and should have the beating of Kempton runner-up Short Squeeze.
