MECENE impressed with his hurdling when getting off the mark at Taunton in the spring and can make a winning return at the chief expense of Trigg who wasn't at his best when an odds-on third at Perth when last seen out but still rates a big threat for the all-conquering Skelton yard. Hurdling debutant Danza Kuduro appeals as the pick of the rest for the minor honours.
