This is a very ordinary handicap and Ivans Back must have every chance of following up his recent course victory over a longer trip despite a 7lb higher mark. Destiny Blue and Sendiym have been running on the Flat. Newforge House showed a bit more last time and Renegotiate has claims but it's about time EARLY APPLAUSE was winning one of these and he showed plenty of encouragement here last time.
