Verdict
El Salvaje won over track and trip back in October while Bad Attitude won here more recently and scored again at Wolverhampton last time. One To Go has found the in-form Subliminal too good the last twice now but both Kentucky Kingdom and Bayston Hill won over track and trip on their penultimate starts with the former beating Voi. CHARLIE ARTHUR (NAP) placed in Class 3 company here last month and a similar effort at this lower level should see Richard Hughes’ charge back to winning ways.
