MEHMENTO made an impressive debut over track and trip last month when romping home by over nine lengths. He’ll prove a warm order to defy a penalty on that evidence. The four-year-old Prince Abu finished last of only three runners here on his latest start and Grangeclare View is preferred on his earlier second at the track. Night Of Romance debuts on the Fibresand after struggling on her reappearance while Beyond Infinity and Heaton Chapel drop down in distance having failed to figure here last time.
