A puzzle to decipher as most can be given a chance but with a question mark hanging over them too. Qulinton was back to form last time but is 6lb higher and not the most reliable whilst Lexicon Lad looked to bounce last time which make him hard to evaluate now. Titchwood has failed to complete on three of his last four starts and Superior Quality has a last-time fall to put behind him, although both are capable sorts if on a going day. Foundry Square is consistent and respected with Johnny's Way not ruled out off bottomweight. The Panama Kid wins in his turn but has been hit with a 7lb hike for his latest success and a chance is taken with BUCK MULLIGAN but only to conservative stakes. He scored quite snugly here last time after a quiet sequence and hopefully that will have provided a boost to his confidence despite a 5lb rise in the weights.
