Race preview
Mark Johnston has won this three times since 2015 and saddles three, KONDO ISAMI, Happy and Fairmac, as he looks to enhance that impressive record. The former appeals most of that trio having impressed at Chelmsford in the winter and now makes his handicap debut. Farhan was doing his best work late when beaten a nose at Salisbury and is considered off the same mark, while Tashkhan is an intriguing recruit to Brian Ellison's yard following his win at Navan. Doctor Parnassus is also noted on his handicap bow.
