Speedy Directa was also engaged at Market Rasen this afternoon and could be in the handicapper's grip now but stablemate Snake Charmer could be interesting back on the same mark as when successful at Warwick in February. Malibu Sun won over 2m4f at Towcester should stay the longer trip here but it's a long time since either Dr Livingstone or Tarvini showed any worthwhile form and Lewlaur Supreme has been put up 12lb for winning a lesser contest at Perth. Sendali is also edging up the weights but ran well on the Flat last month and should be thereabouts but we'll give another chance to SCOTSBROOK CLOUD. A slow pace and very fast ground didn't suit at Ffos Las 10 days ago but he'd been quite impressive over this trip at Ludlow previously and is probably still on a fair mark.
