DANIEL THOMAS bounced back to form at Wolverhampton last time and given he was winning off much higher marks earlier in the year, he looks capable of following up. Resplendent Alpha should be in the mix once again but Meglio Ancora was something of a disappointment last time having won an apprentice handicap before that. Green Earth is getting closer and Idol deputy is dropped in class but Stylistickhill and Mount Abora have both failed to figure off higher marks since winning.
