Verdict
Competitive fare in which SENDIYM is taken to continue a solid recent run of form this month, having followed up a Sedgefield success with a decent runner-up performance at the same venue. He goes well for Brian Hughes and is taken to reverse placings with Squeeze Me, having been beaten in a photo finish by the latter over course and distance last summer. He's a couple of pounds better off now which could just make the difference. Squeeze Me has continued to perform consistently well and rates an obvious threat along with Oh So Gigolo, a good Sedgefield second last month. It's interesting to see the Slack inmate significantly upped in trip, whilst Nicki's Nipper is the one to check in the market. Louloumills can also go well.
