Race preview
ITWOULDBERUDENOTTO was thwarted by a neck over 1m at Southwell last time but pulled three lengths clear of the rest of the field. Richard Fahey's charge is unexposed over this longer trip and may be able to gain compensation, despite going up 4lb in the ratings. Cottonopolis and I Hear Thunder are potential improvers on their handicap debuts, while Manap could be perked up by the fitting of first-time blinkers.
