Race preview
WATCHA MATEY scored comfortably at Newmarket over 1m on his return and the form of that contest has worked out well in the meantime. A 7lb rise looks manageable for Hugo Palmer's charge, and he could have too much for the unexposed handicap-debutant Highland Spring, and Whathappensinvegas, who improved from first to second start for this yard when breaking the maiden at Newmarket.
