Cloudy Dawn may have run out of chances after yet another disappointing effort at Southwell last week. Oh Right will probably need this but The Good Guy can feature in this grade as he won a seller over course and distance in the spring. Presenting Junior won at Hexham in June but is 6lb higher and more interesting is TRUCKERS BENEFIT. Entitled to need his reappearance at Southwell in June, he was still well backed which suggests he's going to figure in this off a 2lb lower mark and with that run under his belt.
