Mr Potter was well beaten over 6f here last time but had won over track and trip before that. Canford Belle has also been thereabouts here recently and should go well while Dancin Alpha finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when runner-up at Southwell. But similar can be said of MR SUNDOWNER, placed here last time and just preferred to Table Manners, who has been in the mix over a mile at the track recently and is not easily dismissed.
