Verdict

Taunton winner SPEEDY DIRECTA was travelling like a winner when blundering and unseating his rider at Towcester last Thursday. It's no surprise to see him turned out again quickly here and compensation awaits if he puts in a clear round as most of the opposition struggle to get their head in front. Jerry Lee did win at Fontwell earlier this month but that was an extremely moderate contest, while Citrus Mark returns from a break. Exeter runner-up Fashion Week may be the pick of the remainder as Is It Me is beginning to look a light of former days.
