Race preview
Does He Know merits the utmost respect having won well on his chasing debut at Chepstow a couple of weeks ago, but he does have to carry an 8lb penalty for that success. With that in mind, preference is for OSCAR ELITE, who made the frame in a pair of Grade 1 contests at the end of last season and that includes a second-placed finish in the Albert Bartlett here in March. Roi De Dubai was only narrowly denied by a talented stablemate in a handicap at Perth last month off a mark of 142, and that form gives him a big chance today.
