Clive Cox’s three-year-old won on his sole run as a two-year-old at the end of last year and followed that up with a comfortable success 13 days ago, with both wins coming over today’s course and distance and he makes his handicap debut today.
George Boughey saddles Utmost Good Faith who got off the mark on stable debut last time out at Kempton when comfortably justifying odds-on favouritism and he goes off a 10-pound higher mark today.
Archie Watson saddles £220,000 yearling Dagger Strike who has shown improved form since being gelded. Having won at Newcastle two starts back, he finished second at Southwell last time out when seven lengths clear of the third. Better can be expected here.
