Having raised his game when finding just one too good on his handicap debut at Fontwell, SLEMISH looks the way to go. That was his first run following a six-month break, so he's entitled to come on for it and a 5 lb rise looks manageable. Cap Ricochet may have more to offer now venturing down the handicap route himself and is next on the list ahead of You Did.
