A tricky little contest this but the unexposed EN MEME TEMPS looks one with plenty going for him. He has quite a progressive profile and only found one too good on handicap debut last time out off this mark. Others shortlisted are Maquisard who ran well despite a bad error two out last time at Kempton and Percy Street whose last run can be forgiven but he was a close second the time before.
