The handicapper has done KNOCKYOURSOCKSOFF no favours having raised him 6lb since a second at Stratford but Gary Moore's charge is still the most likely winner of a modest heat. Further down the weights, Sylvan Legend and Where'd Ya Hide It have place claims but the hard-pulling The Wee Midget showed little on his belated debut over fences. Blackwood Rover finished ahead of Lord Of The Dunes at Stratford last month so looks the pick of the remainder.
