Several multiple track winners here including old-timer GORDON LORD BYRON, who found a mile too far last time after just failing to concede Geological 27lb over 6f previously. Colin Keane's mount has much the better of the weights here and can gain revenge and land career victory number 17. Yuften has competed in two strong handicaps after completing a double in claimers while Tommy Taylor is interesting on his first start for Jonny Levins having competed in high-level handicaps for Kevin Ryan. Dancing On A Dream went up 12lb for an easy track and trip victory in October and has struggled under the extra while Katiymann is held by Geological on their run here last month.
