I Know How won over track and trip back in December and is 4lb higher on his return while Ghathanfar has been off the track since October having won over 7f here last year. De Bruyne Horse was narrowly beaten in a lower grade contest at the track last month though Lucky Lodge is preferred back at this level having won under today’s apprentice here earlier and can go close again. But REDESDALE REBEL has the most scope of these having made all for a wide-margin victory over course and distance last time and there looks more to come from Susan Corbett’s charge now handicapping.
