NOBLE SAVAGE lost the race in the stewards' room here last time but is able to race off an unchanged mark so can gain quick compensation. Handicap-debutant Tedwin Hills is feared most on the back of his excellent second here last time out, while Begin The Luck appeals as the pick of the rest and a solid place prospect.
