A few of these, including Barracuda Boy, Fast Track and Top Boy, are starting to look well handicapped. The Armed Man is something of a course specialist and appears to have the plum draw so it will be a surprise if he’s not in the firing-line. BREAKING RECORDS has got stall two but the gates are in the centre of the track today so it may not make a huge difference. Hugo Palmer’s three-year-old was gradually finding his form prior to winning at Haydock and a follow-up may be on the cards. Henley won at Pontefract last month and King Robert usually runs his race. Adam's Ale bolted up on his reappearance at Ripon but only beat one home at the same track next time. Madrinho escapes a penalty after winning an apprentices’ race at Salisbury last week but this looks tougher.
