Verdict
DONT CALL ME OSCAR's winning run came to end at Newton Abbot last time and he's 3lb higher here. But he wasn't beaten far and did win over track and trip in February. Mark Gillard's charge may be capable of one more victory in his current mood. Another Journey has scope but Moon Trip was raised 8lb for winning at Plumpton and You've Been Mowed has had plenty of chances. Celtic Artisan isn't guaranteed to reproduce his latest fourth at Huntingdon but Zero Visibility should be thereabouts again.
