A low grade lottery and despite dropping down a grade, the unpredictable OUTLAW TORN is not guaranteed to repeat his recent win at Wolverhampton. But an apprentice’s allowance also negates a penalty so he gets a token vote. Troy Boy was placed at Brighton in October and returns to action while Spirit Of The Vale went close at this level at Chelmsford on her penultimate start. Thatsthewaytodoit was second in a classified race at Wolverhampton earlier and Moccasin finished a bit closer last time having tumbled down the weights last year.
