Just when he looked in the handicapper's grip, a revitalised DICKIE LE DAVOIR resumed winning ways at Haydock last week with Who's Shirl well beaten. He has a penalty to carry here but is worth sticking with given none of today's rivals can match his recent form. Last month's Ripon winner Cape Vale could figure if back to his best after disappointing at Doncaster last time, while Silver Rime tries this shorter trip for the first time after finishing third over 7f here on his latest start. Noodles Blue Boy and Nadeen look high enough in the weights now, but Sunrise Safari has each-way claims.
