Trakeur has never won a race but has hinted at ability and didn't run badly over hurdles last time. However, he'll be carrying more than his allotted weight in this, as will La Madonnina and Wing Mira. Dancing Dik started favourite for an equally desperate affair at Newton Abbot last month though fell again but Fast Exit should go close if fully wound-up as he's only a pound higher than when scoring at Newton Abbot in September. ON THE CASE was close up when falling at Stratford in March. He would almost certainly have been involved in the finish had he stayed on his feet and is worth another chance.
