Verdict
Johnny Mac came good at Hereford last month but has been raised 5lb. Extraordinary Man also won at Hereford last month and followed that up with second off this mark at Fakenham. Lightly raced, HOWYOUPLAYTHEGAME ran his best race so far when a close third at Doncaster and a similar effort here may well suffice given fellow maiden Benny Silver was a beaten favourite yet again when only third at Hereford on his chasing bow.
