Verdict
Frank N Fair bolted up at Fontwell last week but doesn't appeal as the type to defy a penalty, even in this lowly grade. Onwiththeparty has become expensive to follow but it would be no surprise to see an improved effort from Acajou Des Bieffes while Whispering Speed started favourite at Southwell in February and is probably better than he showed that day. FLEMI TWO TOES has won over track and trip and Sarah Humphrey's 10-year-old still pops up occasionally in race like this when the mood takes him. He's well handicapped now after a few below-par efforts.
