The veteran Webbow likes it here and has run well in this race for the past two years so expect another big effort as he's dropped to a fair mark. Pythagorean just failed to catch Majestic Moon here last time but will do very well to land this from a high draw, a remark that also applies to Music Master who also lacks experience for such a tough handicap. Glen Moss is drawn in the centre and is in such good heart at present that he'll be fancied to defy a penalty for last week's Newbury success while Magic City continues in tremendous heart and has won on both visits here. SHEBEBI was always travelling strongly at Doncaster a week ago and soon shot clear when asked for an effort. A 6lb penalty shouldn't prevent another big run and he's well enough drawn to defy the extra.
