CAFE ESPRESSO and Glorious Dane clashed in a handicap at Kempton in December. The latter came out best but only finished a length-and-a-quarter ahead of the former, who is 6lb better off and has the more experienced rider in the saddle today. With cheekpieces fitted, Hollie Doyle’s mount can come out on top in this weak seller. Creek Harbour won at Wolverhampton over the winter so looks the pick of the older horses.
