Verdict
Neither Seventh Sign or Top Wood could cope with a rise in the weights last time having won their penultimate starts. But the latter is dropping back down in class and is not easily overlooked. Who Owns Me and Josies Orders have looked in the handicappers grip since scoring earlier in the year while Rydon Pynes found Billy Dutton too good at Exeter last time. The latter bids for a hat-trick under a penalty but will do well to confirm running on worse terms with third-placed SOLSTICE SON, who rattled up a quick treble last month and can return to winning ways here.
