Verdict
Novabridge hasn’t raced since winning over track and trip in May and is 3lb higher on his return while Furni Factors was placed at Catterick last time but this is more difficult. Mightaswellsmile has been in the mix recently but has won just the one maiden win in 19 attempts but Elliot The Dragon had been placed before returning a losing favourite at Wolverhampton. WINDFORPOWER wasn’t at his best last time but a gets a speculative in a weak sprint anyway given he’s won five times here in the past and is now back on a winning mark.
