FERROUS looks to have a telling profile and could be the one. Jack Channon is keeping the stable tradition regarding big handicap success and this lightly-raced 4-y-o has a good strike-rate. Gelded later than ideal but in his case, it seems to have worked well. Handles all kinds of surfaces and has stayed on in all of his three 6f efforts this year. Has jumped up the weights so that is a question but the selection is sure to improve further this year.

JUAN LES PINS finished third in this a year ago and seemed to enjoy himself. Came into the race off an extended good run of form after switching to the Michael Appleby yard and fair to say his consistency has levelled off and he has become less predictable. Has reached new heights on ratings though, with a pair of 110 efforts and although the 7-y-o is only fairly handicapped, the return of headgear could just spark something. Place claims at least.
