An uninspiring contest and despite the large field, few can be considered to boast solid recent form. A notable exception is Dudleys Delight who comes here chasing a hat-trick after picking up sellers at Leicester and Yarmouth last month. Martin Pipe's charge also has winning form on similar ground as today's and holds excellent claims at the weights so is handed the TEAMtalk vote. Tickle has failed to greet the judge for two years and has shown little of late but is well treated on these terms and should appreciate this longer trip having been outpaced over shorter. Weet A Round takes a drop in grade and shouldn't be dismissed lightly at this level while You're An Angel showed signs of a return to form last time and is another to consider.
