It was hard not to be impressed with the way TUNE IN A BOX won on handicap debut at Newcastle back in November. He improved again to defy a 9lb rise at Wetherby last time and given he is unexposed over this trip he may well be up to defying a penalty here. Connections are looking to strike while the iron is hot and Cameron Illes claims a handy 7lb too so plenty going for him. Slip Road could be the one to give him most to think about.

I'm going to stick with the most unexposed horse in the field in the shape of CERVETTO for Dylan Cunha. This colt loved the step back up to this trip when making a winning handicap debut at Lingfield last week and turned out quickly under a penalty with the promise of more to come he should be hard to beat. Conquest Of Power is the only other last time out winner in the field and looks the danger despite being more exposed.
