Pavers Star has been well beaten either side of a second at Doncaster and it's anybody's guess as to what mood he'll be in while Sir Geoffrey is overlooked off an 8lb higher mark than last month's win at Yarmouth. Wicked Wilma has slipped down the weights and is further assisted by an apprentice's 7lb claim while Quality Art posted a better effort at Nottingham last week and can at least make the frame again. GOTTCHER is looking to end a long losing run and after finishing third at Musselburgh on his belated reappearance. Keith Dalgleish's charge gets a tentative vote off his current mark.
