I'LL BE GOOD is 6lb higher than when successful in this 12 months ago and has also been hampered by a high draw. But it would be no surprise if he reversed recent Beverley running with Mappin Time, especially if the forecast rain arrives, and looks to have been laid out for a repeat. Masamah has been knocking on the door again lately but isn't getting any younger. Neither is Jack Luey, though he took advantage of a tumbling mark to win easily at Pontefract in July. Economic Crisis has never won outside of Scotland but Apricot Sky has been successful at five different tracks, though disappointed last time at Haydock. Come On Dave looks the pick of the remainder.
