I'M SUPER TOO had dropped to his lowest ever mark on his 40th start when scoring with some ease at his favourite Hamilton last week and a 6lb penalty is unlikely to prevent a quick double. Cravat is running well and stayed on very strongly to score at Haydock so a 6lb rise shouldn't be too much of a problem and though Charles De Mille produced a shock victory at Newcastle last month there was no fluke about it and with only a dozen runs behind him he is entitled to improve. Fazza is just 3lb higher than his victory over the course and distance in September, his second success on the track, so has to be respected.
