Richard Hughes' presence on Admirals Walk takes the eye but the latter has been racing over a mile and further of late. Marmalady makes more appeal but she's also dropping back in trip after a second over 7f at this track. BRYNFORD was beaten only a head over course and distance a fortnight ago with Mighty Mata well behind and Chris Dwyer's filly looks the safest bet to get her head back in front given Compton Albion's latest placed effort came over the minimum trip.
