Nick Vedder would have a chance off bottom weight as he is easily forgiven his run here last time over a trip too far. Magicinthemaking, Twilight Revenge and Rooful are all previous course and distance winners with the latter showing improved form in the autumn. Adaayinourlife has placed here three times but has only won at Lingfield so far and hasn’t raced since last April. Dashing Rat attracted market support over track and trip last time but was only fifth behind Rooful the time before. SENSE OF SECURITY’s last two runs have been over 6f but he has form over this trip and is looking well treated nowadays.
