Verdict

Mutawathea is now 12lb higher than his victory at Kempton in July and Melvin The Grate failed to win a race last year. Intrude won a lower grade contest at Wolverhampton on his latest start but that was back in September and Forceful Appeal is upped 6lb for winning a Class 4 handicap here last month. WESTWOOD HOE (NAP) failed in a bid for hat-trick over 7f at Southwell earlier this month but won in this grade earlier and gets another chance today given this is his first visit to the track since recording his maiden win over course and distance back in 2014.
