Sean Davis got a lovely tune out of PUDDING CHARE when the pair made all in smooth style here last week and this looks another good opportunity for the combination to strike. The gelding now reverts to a mile but that should not prove troublesome as the Smith inmate also has a course and distance success on his CV. Abushamah should run his usual game race whilst Outside Inside may have topweight but this drop to Class 5 company should see him properly competitive. Jacob Black is another taking the elevator down in class and should be in the mix but it's International Man, a decent fifth in a better race at York latest, who rates the prime threat.
