Inner Drive doesn't stand much racing but is not short of ability and probably on a decent mark. Burbank did well as a novice last season, despite managing only one win, but an opening mark of 143 isn't generous. Dan Skelton runs Return Flight from the opposite end of the weights and also chaser Three Musketeers while Clondaw Kaempfer is interesting on his favourite course as the handicapper is showing him some mercy. Irish raider Massini's Trap could run well at a price and Sneaky Feeling could be anything but this may be too far for Stamp Your Feet. BAGS GROOVE (NAP) wasn't unduly punished at Chepstow two weeks ago but still wasn't beaten far. That was a nice return to action and he'll strip fitter here.
