Aint Got A Scooby was well beaten off today's mark last time having won at Epsom before that and Wolverhampton winner Press Room is having his first start since November. Al Enbess ran a shocker on his latest start having scored over a mile here in February and Big Thunder is facing a tougher task under a penalty for last week's victory at Brighton. Magique could figure again though she looks a shade high in the weights at present and NAAZ gets the vote to follow-up after a cosy win at Redcar in his handicap debut.
