Roger Fell won the last three renewals with Dapper Man and runs Lotus Rose this time. The latter won at Redcar recently but winning partner Jonny Peate is unable to claim his allowance today. VAN GERWEN is another recent winner having scored at Nottingham but his apprentice can utilise his 5lb allowance and that negates a rise in the weights. There was little between runner-up So Smart and fourth-placed May Blossom over track and trip earlier in the campaign and both could figure again while Dawson Lane makes his handicap debut and may improve.
