Albert D'olivate has been placed in both starts since the turn of the year but is still creeping up the weights. Ambion Wood is potentially well treated nowadays but the once-useful Royal Charm returns from a lengthy lay-off while Rainbow Haze probably needs to drop a few pounds. Deputy Commander was disappointing on his handicap debut at Doncaster while Baraka De Thaix is also struggling to get his head in front, as is Say My Name. CAPTAIN MCGINLEY is another maiden but he has shown promise in all three starts over timber and doesn't look badly treated here. He gets a tentative vote with Precious Ground looking best of the rest.
