Humidor ended last season with a hat-trick on the turf. However, he'll need to be at his sharpest on his return to action up against the likes of Advertisement. The latter is also on a four-timer having won a shade cosily at Kempton last time and looks the one to beat, but THE SCORCHING WIND is taken to go close at a big price. He finished last behind Anne Of Kiev here a month ago, but was beaten only two lengths after falling out of the stalls. He gets first-time blinkers to sharpen him up, is back on a winning mark and can reverse recent form with Five Star Junior, Perfect Act and Green Manalishi.
