Verdict
Dontpaytheferryman won't mind the ground and isn't badly treated back over hurdles. Kyle James takes off a further 5lb and Brian Ellison's eight-year-old could make his presence felt along with stablemates Capellanus, Ultimate and Amtired. Ingleby Spirit and Agent Archie look to have too much weight, however, and Jason Maguire prefers Call Back to the latter, the five-year-old finding the company too hot in the Gerry Fielden at Newbury on his reappearance. Jet Master will be prominent but will probably get outpaced in the closing stages and the unbeaten Swing Bowler tackles soft ground for the first time on her handicap debut and hasn't raced for nine months. RUMBLE OF THUNDER was in the handicapper's grip for most of last year but he's starting to edge down the weights again and showed enough last time to suggest he retains some ability. He can reverse that form with Ultimate and Mason Hindmarsh on better terms and should start at decent odds for this given recent form figures. Amok is lightly-raced but didn't beat much at Fakenham and also appears a tricky ride.
