Verdict
Rightcar is the only one of these to have won a race so far this year. He scored over 5f at Wolverhampton in January with today's rival HEAD TO HEAD four lengths behind but has been out of sorts since. In contrast, the latter showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up on his latest start and Alan Brown's sprinter is taken to reverse running here and get back to winning ways. Jessica Wigmo was second over C&D three runs ago and can figure with a repeat of that performance, while Avonvalley may improve for the drop in class.
