Verdict
Special Fighter carries a double penalty having followed a win at Beverley with victory at Catterick on Tuesday. He may not have have finished improving yet but this is his third start in just over a week and IDDER may prove too strong. The latter only found one too good over 1m2f here last time and can race off the same mark today. Latin Charm had been going the right way until something went amiss at Musselburgh on his latest start but Emerahldz is upped in class off a higher mark after winning at Carlisle.
