Glory of Paris finished runner-up over track and trip last time when ahead of both Maykir and Bond Angel while Cheat finished in front of False Id when scoring here last month. Castle Quarter may well reverse earlier running with Maykir while Inexplicable could figure if staying the extra distance on his handicap debut. But DR JEKYLL was having his first outing for nearly a year when runner-up over course and distance recently and David Simcock’s charge gets the vote in an open contest back in handicap company today.
