Momkinzain, Northside Prince and Spieta all have absences to overcome and Isdaal hasn't won for nearly two years. Pixie Cut should run her race and A Southside Boy, a three-time course winner, has strong claims on the back of a winning reappearance. However, SAVED BY THE BELL rates the only likely improver on show and has already displayed considerable promise on eight career starts. His latest run when second of 18 to Perfect Summer in a Doncaster handicap confirmed his wellbeing and also that he continues to progress. He's only 1lb higher for that good effort on Town Moor and can land a deserved first success off what remains a workable mark.
