HENRY THE FIFTH has been knocking on the door of late and this looks like as good an opportunity as any to regain the winning thread. The five-year-old is now 3lb lower than when scoring at Yarmouth last May and he may have too much for Bird For Life (second) and Reset Button (third), who were separated by less than a length at Southwell in December. Boundsy Boy and Global Wonder cannot be underestimated either

RESET BUTTON was below form on his latest start over C&D in January but that was a muddling affair and, having made a solid start for his new yard previously, he could be worth chancing to come out on top with cheekpieces refitted. King Charles, Henry The Fifth and Bird For Life are others expected to be in the mix.
