It's much easier to find negatives rather than positives here. Memphis Man scored at Wolverhampton on Friday but has had plenty of outings at this track without looking like winning, while Bookiesindex Boy registered both of his wins on Fibresand over 5f. Brio was well beaten here after landing a seller at Leicester and Coastal Passage was a losing short-priced favourite in a maiden at this course last time. HALF A CROWN never figured on his only start at this track back in 2009, but is in better form now having scored at Redcar a fortnight ago with Greenhead High behind and he gets a speculative to follow-up.
