Race preview
JOHN BETJEMAN ran a blinder on his first start for Mark Gillard over 7f here, finishing a neck second behind subsequent winner Global Destination, and he's effectively 2lb better off tonight with Seamus Cronin's claim taken into consideration. He gets the nod but there are plenty of potential dangers, with Mandocello, who was successful on his handicap debut at Windsor, and Nottingham scorer Rambaldi topping the list.
