In depth
Verdict
Caramelita is back on a winning mark but never looked like scoring when fourth over C&D last time. Greenhead High has yet to win a handicap and is getting no closer despite slipping down the weights so a chance is taken on the returning RIDGEWAY HAWK. He saves his best for this track and has the beating of today's rivals if fully tuned-up on his first start since March. Michael's Nook has been in fine form at Wolverhampton and makes most appeal of the remainder if taking to the Fibresand.
