Like The Sound added to his Uttoxeter maiden win in a handicap at Stratford last month but has no form on going this quick. Woodfort is proving difficult to place but Paddys Motorbike has a race in him judged on his latest second at this track. LOUGH DERG FARMER never looked happy on soft going at Bangor last time but had won over 2m5f on good ground at Doncaster the time before and, while he’ll make a chaser in time, should make a bold bid to pick up the winning thread again in this.
