Totterdown has been enjoying a productive season though his two most recent starts leave the impression the handicapper has now got to grips with him. He had Hollywood Ken a long way behind at Sandown early in the term, though the latter should do better having had a wind op since. The lightly-raced Highest Sun must settle better while handicap debutant Melchior King needs respecting after his C&D success last time but THE DUBAI WAY has been running well over fences and should be able to go close back over timber from his current perch having met his only defeat in this sphere in a Sandown Grade 3 over a trip that might have been beyond him last season.
