A number of these arrive having shown decent form between the flags. The likes of Area Access, Billy Biscuit, Bob Keown and Georgie Lad are all worth a market check while Badger Wood should improve on his fourth in a Fontwell bumper. ANDY KELLY was in front approaching the last at Kempton 11 days ago but wandered under pressure and forfeited his advantage. He'll know more today and can make the most of a possible fitness edge over Irish import Drumgooland.
