INEXES has the strongest recent form having gone close in soft ground at Pontefract before scoring over track and trip last week. He gets the vote to defy a penalty. Falmouth Light has been thereabouts over 7f recently though his earlier win at Doncaster came over 1m2f while Nuns Walk has yet to win on going this soft. Chookie Dunedin has slid down the weights this year but looks no nearer winning as of yet while Handsome Dude will handle the underfoot conditions but remains out of form.
