Verdict
TRAVELLER is a Tapeta specialist on a decent mark at present. He will have needed his run at Pontefract and is reunited here with regular pilot Harry Russell, who claims a handy 3lb. Cuban Cigar found only the in-form Contingency Fee too strong at Newmarket 12 days ago and should be thereabouts again while Duchess Rose is worth a market check making her handicap debut. Lingfield third Wow William is another to consider but Carpentier is looking a little exposed now and Rain Gauge has become disappointing.
