Tanit River wasn't disgraced when second to More Buck's at Fontwell on his chasing bow and races off the same mark here. Muckle Roe is usually thereabouts but the lightly-raced LEMON'S GENT is back in the right grade and will strip fitter for his run at Kempton. He gets a tentative vote in an open-looking contest as Special Wells may just need this and the handicapper seems to have a grip on Mr Burgees, Strongly Suggested and Noble Legend at present. Tregaro has won off higher marks in the past but was a 66/1 chance when a remote second behind Perfect Timing at Huntingdon earlier this month.
