Errigal Lad was winning for the first time since 2008 when popping up at 40/1 over C&D last week and doesn't look a likely type to follow-up. BIG WAVE makes much more appeal as she finished runner-up off today's mark on the Polytrack last time having won at Yarmouth before that and is dropping down a grade here. The remainder look no great shakes though Reginald Claude and Jack Smudge continue to slip down the weights and Yanza has last month's second at Bath to her credit.
