THEREDBALLOON (NAP) had been racing over 2m4f before dropping back to this trip here and landing a slightly better class handicap and, though a 10lb rise looks harsh, Conrad Allen is taking advantage of Liam McKenna's claim and a double looks on the cards. Ogaritmo landed a novice handicap at Fakenham in April though she struggled from her higher mark later while Nebula Storm has his first start for new connections after finishing fourth in a Huntingdon claimer. Captain Sharpe has won plenty of races in minor company and can get involved but it is The Bugler who can offer the main threat as, though he's never won, Evan Williams will get a tune out of him before too long and this represents his best chance since coming over from Ireland.
