SONIGINO shaped well in a useful handicap at Ascot 3 weeks ago, and with this drop back in trip holding no fears, he's fancied to defy a double penalty. Make My Day and King Ottokar are a pair of interesting recruits from the Flat though, and strong market support for either would need taking seriously.
