Verdict
Several won their penultimate starts with Checkitout and Supreme Escape preferred to Docpickedme and Soyouthinksoagain of that group. Silver In Disguise, Volcano and Gats And Co have a rise in the weights to contend with having all won their latest outings and the latter is 15lb higher bidding for a hat-trick. Amateur has struggled since winning this last year but NOTACHANCE (NAP) finally showed some improvement for a tumble down the weights when runner-up at Sandown last month and Alan King’s charge may prove the one to side with.
