Mind How You Go deserves to get his head in front following some decent placed efforts of late and is taken to do so at the main expense of Megapac and Wet Lips. The last mentioned is gradually coming down the weights but could probably do with some more help from the handicapper, while Fishki's Lad has rather harshly been raised another 4lbs for his latest effort when chasing home Sikasso at Sedgefield. Howard Johnson's Deja Vu has struggled off his new mark since twice winning at Sedgefield in December and of more interest may be Noel Chance's Megapac, who makes his debut in a handicap today off what looks to be a decent mark. Eriskay and River Mist are others worthy of a mention but the vote goes to the consistent Mind How You Go, who is taken to gain a deserved success.
