Verdict
Eeh Bah Gum is speedy and Elle-May Croot’s claim is a plus. Never Dark got back to winning ways at Hamilton and Soul Seeker and Bayraat are both consistent sorts entitled to be thereabouts again. The 7lb claimer Alex Jary gets on well with Muker but the handicapper has taken a real chance dropping MATTICE a further 3lb. Tim Easterby’s charge has had excuses the last twice having finished close up at York and Pontefract previously off 5lb higher. Level Up has won three of his last four so can’t be ignored and Sergeant Pep is another with decent claims.
