CALTEX made a winning debut for Michael Scudamore with loads in hand at Leicester 8 months ago and remains with plenty of handicapping scope based on what he achieved for Gordon Elliott. As such, he's fancied to make a winning return in what is, admittedly quite a strong race for the grade. She'sasupermack looks progressive and strikes as the main threat ahead of Up Helly AA King.
