Waltz Darling was successful in this grade at Sedgefield earlier in the month but now has a career-high mark to overcome. He's still preferred to Hexham specialist Granwood but FIX IT RIGHT may be too good at the weights. He appears to be running into form and this looks a little easier than recent tests. Bold Raider has been raised 5lb since finishing second to Invicta Lake at Wincanton but Tommie O'Brien takes off 10lb and he should be thereabouts over this longer trip. Call It On hasn't really fired so far this season but may be best of the rest ahead of the one-paced Any Given Moment.
