Verdict
The unpredictable Lynns Boy won at Wolverhampton between a couple of moderate efforts while Hit Mac is back on the same mark as when winning at the latter track in January. THE TRON scored over course and distance earlier but struggled from a wide draw here last time though still finished ahead of Nellie French. He has a more favourable draw on this occasion and should go close. Han Solo Berger beat stablemate Grandfather Tom at Yarmouth last summer but both return from lay-offs.
