Plenty are in with a shout. NICKELFORCE deservedly got off the mark at Plumpton last time and can make light of a 6 lb rise in the weights now his stamina is drawn out more. Much Too Dear starts out in handicaps on a lenient mark and could emerge as the chief threat after his break, with Perculator and Face d'Music well in the mix too.
