Verdict
It was soft ground here last time when FISTON DU MOU returned to winning ways over track and trip. He’s switched yards since but Brian Hughes remains loyal and another bold bid is expected. To Be Sure won off a similar mark on good going at Exeter back in April and will be sharper for a recent outing while Onestepatatime was still in contention when falling two out at Hexham and could go well. Sir Apollo has yet to win but slips further down the weights.
