Verdict
Mappin Time beat a below par Royal Bajan at Wolverhampton in February but the latter took his revenge in a higher grade sprint here last time. The former and third-placed Doctor Parkes re-oppose on better terms today but Dynamo Walt was well beaten back in fifth. Normal Equilibrium has a tough task on his return but CLUMBER STREET (NAP) gave plenty of weight and a two length beating to a subsequent winner over track and trip recently and he gets the nod on his handicap debut.
