Constantino remains 5lb higher than when landing this prize last year and an 8lb rise for winning at Wolverhampton anchored Leader's Legacy at Redcar last time. Humbert showed progressive form on the all-weather over the winter but is 11lb higher than when last winning while though Poet's Society escaped a penalty for an earlier win when scoring at Bath he is upped 7lb today. Nonios and Dark Red would prefer further but My Target and is not out of this off his current mark. Well supported but disappointing in the Lincoln, FIRE BRIGADE (NAP) showed his best form so far this year when second at Haydock in April. Michael Bell’s charge has had wind surgery in the interim and may well be back to his best today.
