Verdict
Zac Brown never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Lingfield last week but can race off the same mark. Dynamo Walt has been raised 3lb after scoring at Newcastle but both of the above had earlier finished behind COMPAS SCOOBIE at this venue. Stuart Williams’ charge found only Tropics too good over track and trip last month and gets the nod on that form. Liquid and Tavener have won lower grade sprints this year but were both beaten off today’s mark last time while Poyle Vinnie is best at Southell nowadays and Leo Minor drops back down to the minimum trip.
