MR HAMPSTEAD (3) remains unexposed as a stayer after making a winning handicap debut by 5.5L over course and distance. Raphael Freire trains this gelded son of Galileo who could prove a useful performer tackling this trip and is taken to defy a 8lb rise in class. Topweight MANXMAN (1) finished a good runner-up behind a progressive stayer at Southwell (2m1/2f) reappearing in April. Cannot be ignored with that run under his belt. Stepping up to 2m for the first time may bring about further improvement from the retuning to action CONTACTO (5). Finished a solid second when last seen over 1m6f at Haydock in September. ALMUHIT (6) needs to be considered revisiting the flat.
