Colorando won a handicap over track and trip last week but only by a head and has a bit to find with BANOFFEE on today’s terms. The latter ran below par upped to a mile last time but finished runner-up over today’s trip at Kempton before that and also has the edge over Eyes at the weights. The latter was successful in a seller at Chelmsford earlier in the month but the likes of Varenna Storm and Gypsy Boy face more difficult tasks on today’s unfavourable terms.
