Having been gelded over the winter it might be a good time to side with DRUMNADROCHIT, who ran his best race last year over C&D under forcing tactics. With blinkers applied today, Callum Shepherd's mount could have more to offer on his return as he starts in handicaps from a modest mark. Cracking Speed was too keen on reappearance at Windsor but can do better with that run behind while Chelmsford scorer Spirit Of May is also respected despite a 6lb increase. Warning Fire failed to justify favouritism at Wetherby but is now 2lb better off in a weaker contest.
