Verdict

Gravity Wave has shown no improvement for a slide down the weights but Street Jester has returned from a long break with a couple of decent runs at Ffos Las. Toybox was a winner over 1m2f at this meeting last year but a little disappointing at Leicester last week. LISDARRAGH and Harry Burns have gone close several times since beating a subsequent winner at Windsor in June and the partnership should be rewarded for their consistency in this.
