A couple of these stand out on handicap ratings. Segla has finished runner-up in both starts to date including on fast going at Bath last time but MARS LANDING just edges this at the weights. The latter has gone close in handicaps the last twice now and can open his account back at this level. Widaad should be sharper for last month’s second at Chelmsford and is preferred to Rome Imperial, who was still beaten a long way at Goodwood while the newcomer Banna is related to the high-class duo King Of Change and stablemate Century Dream.
