Split The Wind can gain revenge on Action Impact here, but also worthy of consideration is Papradon. Action Impact was a narrow winner on the all-weather here last Saturday ahead of the selection, who this time has more than a stone advantage. The draw might not come into it with them being close together, but the penalty for success last week could be telling. Papradron won at a decent price at a higher grade at Nottingham last month, but also has form in the locker on the all-weather. It could literally turn out to be a two horse race though, with Split The Wind selected to reverse last week's placings.
