Walk Like A Giant is penalised for his recent win at Wolverhampton but has been placed here before and should confirm earlier running at Chelmsford with Pirate Cove. CARRAGOLD was having his first start since November when going close over track and trip last time. Racing off the same mark as when successful at Beverley last summer, Mel Brittain's veteran is also preferred to Kyllachykov and gets the vote. Senor George steps up in distance but is back on a winning mark and handles the surface.
