A competitive handicap with the vote in favour of MAN OF RIDDLES. All the rage in the betting on return at Chelmsford (2m) in January, he arguably paid the price for a big mid-race move when fading late on. Still unexposed as a stayer, he's expected to go well. Prince Abu, Niblawi and Kitten's Dream head up the dangers.
