Landecker was never travelling here last month and was eventually pulled up. But this is a much weaker contest and last month's Sedgefield winner Ivan Boru is also back in the right grade. Boruma fell at the first last time at Sedgefield and still looks too high in the weights while Total Assets is proving difficult to place. The better ground will suit MAYBE I WONT and his latest fourth at Newcastle wasn't a bad effort. He's been dropped a further pound since and can get back to winning ways with Pixie Cut likely to find at least one too good again at the weights. Bennylicious may be the pick of the remainder.
