Banff has found his form and gained a comfortable victory at around this trip at Newcastle so a 6lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another big run. TSUNDOKU (NAP) followed a surprise victory over hurdles at Uttoxeter with a comfortable success over two miles on soft ground at Chepstow, He won with a bit in hand and the assessor has raised him 8lb so he can overcome a 6lb penalty. Fitzwilly is consistent enough in these races but hasn't won in almost two years and though Wordiness would have a real chance on his victory at Doncaster he's best on fast ground. Tyrell has won over much shorter around here but stays the trip and the assessor appears to have given him a chance.
