An apprentice's allowance brings Miami Gator more in line with those rated higher but he'll still do well to match EXTRATERRESTRIAL. The latter hasn't won for nigh on two years now but has been competing mostly in tough handicaps and is dropped in class today. Classic Colori has won three plating races on the Polytrack this year and can be forgiven a poor effort over a trip too far at Doncaster last time and It's A Mans World is not out of this after finishing a respectable third in a handicap on his reappearance. Derby To Dubai has only had a couple of outings at Southwell so far and has scope for improvement.
