Way Of The World beat Wazowski, who runs earlier on the card, here 11 days ago with Cougar Kid third and should make a bold bid to follow up. Minella Gathering was noted staying on over 2m3f at Warwick so should appreciate the extra and Scartare has hinted at ability. MONDELLO (NAP) was just beaten in a much better race at Wincanton on Thursday when a couple of pounds out of the handicap. He can race off his correct mark here and, if that race hasn’t left its mark, should take all the beating. Double Court has had a few weeks off after a busy autumn but could get involved if fully wound-up.
