Tathmeen returned to winning ways at Wolverhampton last time though that was over 6f. Stars In The Night won over today’s trip at Southwell last week but is penalised 5lb and JAMES WATT has improved for wind surgery and has been narrowly beaten over course and distance the last twice now. He finished in front of Edessann last time and Paul Midgley’s charge can go one better in this. Sambucca Spirit also went close here last month, with both Klopp and Gleniffer behind, and is another to consider.
