Top marks to the racecourse executive for providing an early season opportunity for these veteran handicap chasers. Nick Alexander will have targeted this contest with his 2016 winner Jet Master, and he is again fancied to have the measure of the often quirky Rear Admiral. No Planning heads the weights, and was a C&D winner on well worn good ground in April, but he can give a fence a hefty nudge from time to time, so preference is for the well treated BAILEYS CONCERTO. He'll relish this sound racing surface, and has a rider at the very top of his game in the saddle (four timer at Ayr on Wednesday), and a few early season races over 3m should have put him spot on for today's 2m4f contest.
