This is tougher than the handicap THE BAY WARRIOR bagged here recently but he appeared to have a bit left up his sleeve and, upped just 2 lb, he is taken to strike again. There are dangers aplenty, headed by the consistent Charlie's Choice, with the hat-trick seeking Caramay, Humble Spark and lightly-raced Hebridean Nomad others with claims. Top-weight Skye Breeze is also worthy of consideration.
