Verdict
OWHATANIGHT went close at Wolverhampton before landing one of these events at Southwell earlier in the week by over three lengths - he can defy a penalty in this. Jungle Boogaloo finished behind the selection at Wolverhampton but had finished runner-up at Chelmsford before that while both Starchant and Toolmaker were placed in handicaps last time and Mercers finished ahead of Twice As Likely when third over 5f at Lingfield.
