SCHNABEL arrives on a hat-trick for his new handler after back-to-back Fontwell wins and is fancied to defy a 3 lb rise in the weights here having shown a good attitude too on the latter occasion. Jen's Boy has still to get his head in front over fences and could be set for to play second fiddle once more, with the reliable Boughtbeforelunch the pick of the rest.
