WOODUKHELEYFIT passed the post first at Wolverhampton earlier this month but was disqualified for interference. Sylvester Kirks’ charge should know more today and can land this if keeping a straight line in the closing stages. Winning Bid was not beaten far when fourth here last month and is preferred to Geophony, who made only a modest start at Wolverhampton, while Let's Be Happy is related to a winner and is preferred of the newcomers.
