Keith Dalgleish and Paul and Clare Rooney took this race last year with Mixboy and their course specialist I'M TO BLAME is fancied to return to winning ways. An exciting novice, he lost his unbeaten record at this track when involved in a barging match with Bordeaux Bill (2m4f) in March. Still low-mileage in handicap company, he has the potential to progress more rapidly than the majority of these rivals (despite a mark in the mid 130's) and he won't be troubled by dropping back in trip. With Snookered perhaps flattered by his easy recent C&D success, the chief threat could emerge from the fast-improving Prancing Oscar.
