Conditions here suit A Teen who is taken to score from Comic Tales, Dutch Key Card and Maromito. The selection was not far away at Southwell over six furlongs last time, but has won over course and distance and has not been far away on three of his last four starts. He is no good thing, but may be good enough to go in for the first time in two years. Comic Tales has not been in the same form as the selection despite running second over this trip at Southwell last time. He comes out 5lb worse off than if this were a handicap and is readily opposed. Dutch Key Card has shown the odd glimmer of form lately and acts around here, so he can get involved at the business end, while Maromito has form with Comic Tales from their recent defeat by Laurel Dawn an so should not be far away from that rival once more, but we take A Teen to beat the pair of them.
