Geoff Potts won this off a higher mark last year but doesn’t arrive in particularly good form and Rux Ruxx drops back down in trip having won over 7f at Lingfield before going close at the same track. NINJAGO may finally be ready to end a long losing run off his current mark having competed in tougher sprints than this recently and he gets the vote. Storm Melody popped up at Chepstow in between his more usual modest efforts and Duke Cosimo has posted improved form on the all-weather recently so can't be ignored.
