None of these inspire confidence and MAB DAB was still well beaten when runner-up at Plumpton last time. But he won off a higher mark at the same track at this time last year and may prove good enough in this. Keep To The Beat was placed at Plumpton on her penultimate start and Druid's Folly slips further down the handicap but Ballyantics may prefer softer going. By contrast, Generous Helpings will appreciate today’s good ground and should be sharper for a recent comeback run.
