The Philip Hobbs-trained gelding was a smart novice last season and is well-treated on his handicap debut.
Also, the six-year-old will relish today’s longer trip — two miles seven furlongs — after showing an abundance of stamina when beating Mercy Mercy Me at Chepstow over two miles and three furlongs.
Unlike last season, Hobbs has his team in cracking form and with champion jockey Richard Johnson taking the ride Mcnamaras Band will take some catching.
Barry Geraghty can make the journey over from Ireland worthwhile when he partners NOTRE PARI (3.30, treble) at Fakenham, his only ride at the meeting.
The gelding was unfortunate not win on his recent outing when third behind Elusive Belle at Warwick where he was given too much to do.

CASANOVA (7.55, nb) can make amends for his recent defeat at Ascot where he was well-supported when fifth behind Kynren.
He ran too free on that occasion. Today he wears a hood for the first time, hopefully it will help calm this fractious individual.
