Race preview
NORN IRON ran a career-best when filling the runner-up spot at Newbury last time and he has been put up 7lb for that display. With the likelihood of more to come on only his second handicap start, he could be the one to beat. Kingston James finished second when sporting a first-time hood at Wetherby in December and is an interesting contender on his handicap bow. Of the remainder, Cavern Club makes the most appeal.
