Verdict
Ralph Beckett's EL MATADOR overcame inexperience to make a winning return at Salisbury last month and can improve sufficiently to defy a 7 lb penalty and follow up here. Hugo Palmer's Reds And Wolves shaped well when fifth at Wolverhampton last time and heads the list of dangers with Lord Montague, Sea Poetry and Magnetite all in the picture too.
