Here In The Dark posted one of his better efforts at Thirsk last time and Odds On Oli has slipped back down the weights since scoring at the same track back in April. Mearing is regularly thereabouts without threatening to break his duck while Duba Plains recent second came in a seller. Make Me has placed in both starts in handicaps so far but POET’S PRIDE is also unexposed and it’s David Barron’s charge that gets the nod dropping back down in trip after placing at Nottingham on his handicap debut.
