Silas R drops back in distance under a penalty after winning over 1m2f at Chelmsford and another chance goes to RIPOLL. The latter scored at Kempton before going very close over track and trip and should make another bold bid in his current form. Herridge won over 7f last month but finished behind fourth-placed Pivotal Dream here a fortnight ago and Weld Al Khawaneej has failed to figure since scoring at Ayr in September. Baileys Galaxy and Karens Star make their handicap debuts and are others to note.
