Henpecked is looking to make amends after passing the post first at Hamilton and subsequently disqualified for interference. Tapis Libre is capable of better than he showed under Joanna Mason in one of these events at Newbury last time while Stanarley Pic and New Colours are partnered by leading amateurs and worth a second glance. But RONALD GEE finish closer when third at Doncaster last month and, better off with Tapis Libre on earlier running over track and trip, Jim Goldie's charge may come out best in this.
