Red Baron won this a year ago for Eric Alston and showed he was nearing his best with a cracking effort behind Duke Of Firenze at York on Thursday when Fast Track finished last. Dandy Nicholls has three entries and KIMBERELLA looks the best of them after a superb run to land a competitive handicap at Chester. She gets the nod as Tumblewind came here to land a Class 4 handicap last month and has plenty to do with a 5lb rise. Grandad's World, runner-up in a Class 2 at York last June, is back on the same mark and would have an outstanding chance on that sort of form.
