A cracking renewal of this good 3-y-o handicap, featuring several progressive types. RIFLEMAN gets the nod after making a very promising start to his career last autumn. Dingle shaped very well in a hot Newbury handicap last week and looks sure to have a say if coping with 2 outings in such quick succession. Ilza'eem looked good at Redcar and is also much rsspected.
