Verdict
Scoglio makes a swift reappearance after finishing a close second at Fontwell on Wednesday. Gud Day returns from a break but is on a decent mark nowadays while Smadynium won at Musselburgh and Sedgefield before the turn of the year and hasn't been disgraced since. RIME AVEC GENTIL is lightly raced for his age and won a shade cosily at Worcester last week. He has a penalty to carry here but may be up to the task as long as the ground doesn't get any slower.
