Race preview
COLLECTORS ITEM lost little in defeat when going down by a short head in a Grade 2 contest at Haydock last month and he may have been let in lightly on this handicap debut off a mark of 132. Lord Snootie lurks at the foot of the weights and was last seen winning on his handicap bow at Warwick on New Year's Eve. With the second from that race subsequently bolting up, he's feared most, ahead of Wilde About Oscar, who was far from disgraced when coming home in sixth in a Grade 3 event at Sandown in February.
