SQUARE NECKER faced no easy task conceding 5 lb to Constitution Hill on stable debut at Southwell back in February and, appealing as the type to make his mark in staying handicaps this summer, he looks to hold solid claims up in trip. Baileys Khelstar and veteran Elysian Flame can offer up chief resistance.
