Plenty in with a squeak but the suggestion is DOCTOR MIDAS, who offered little on yard debut last time but had gone close in a C&D maiden the time before and could well build on that now sent down the handicap route. The main threat may emerge from The Bold Thady, who very much caught the eye and was the subject of a stewards inquiry at Ascot when last seen 5 months ago. Swift Jet and Mikimoto can fight out third.
