Verdict
Nickelsonthedime is only 1-18 and still 5lb higher than for his only victory. Bumpy Johnson is still a maiden but has been running in slightly better races but MAROOCHI was in the process of running another sound race at Newton Abbot last month when falling and is getting lumps of weight from the penalised Jet Of Magic and the hat-trick seeking I Spy A Diva, though Let's Have Another can’t be ignored.
