Just beaten over a slightly longer trip at Hereford last month, this shouldn't be beyond the capabilities of DRUMMERS DRUMMING and Alison Thorpe's charge gets the nod despite a 5lb leap up the weights. A market move for Terfel's Toscar would be significant after a comeback fourth at Hereford but Titch Strider's second at the same track probably didn't amount to much and this trip may prove beyond Exeter runner-up Fashion Week. Bathwick Brave ran his best race so far when third last time but further improvement is needed again here.
