Al Ozzdi won over 7f at Wolverhampton last week but has plenty to prove raised 5lb over this longer trip. The Stalking Moon has done all her winning so far over shorter distances while Thornaby Nash won over 7f here in April though stays this far. Rebel State is creeping closer and Fake News has slipped down the weights since scoring on the all-weather but a speculative vote goes to MUTARAKEZ. The latter was winning off a much higher mark over a mile at Pontefract last year and it’s only a matter of time before Ruth Carr’s charge pops-up again.
