Richie Valentine has been chasing and was beaten by ALRAMZ (NAP) on more favourable terms here in June. Sue Gardner’s charge has run well since, including when second at Stratford last week, and will be 4lb higher in the weights from next week so looks the one to be on. Recent Uttoxeter winner Vocal Duke looks a big threat as he has had his form franked, though is closely matched with Ten Past Midnight on collateral form.
