        Verdict

        Royal Prospect landed a double over 6f here before returning a losing favourite back at the track at the start of the month. Still unexposed, he can’t be written off though does have something to prove over today’s minimum trip and FOXY FOREVER makes more appeal. The latter finished in front of Dynamo Walt when runner-up in a Class 2 sprint over 5f at Wolverhampton last time and a repeat effort should see Michael Wigham’s charge go one better. Primo's Comet won at Wolverhampton in November and Bowson Fred slips further down the weights having finished ahead of Saaheq at Chelmsford last month while Fendale won off a similar mark at York last summer though hasn’t raced since October.
