Brian Hughes rides Hit And Run for the first time and Donald McCain’s top weight isn’t badly treated, though is better on ground with some give. This is the type of race in which ANTON DOLIN (NAP) pops up now and again. He’s back on a winning mark and was better last month at Huntingdon when reunited with Lewis Stones. Goal has won twice for Natalie Parker and has also slipped to a fair mark while Borak shouldn’t be far away. Any market support for the returning Hoponandsee would have to be taken seriously.
