Matilda With Me is best on Polytrack or testing ground so some rain would enhance her claims. Abstract is 0-16 and deserves a break from the assessor while Eastern Tornado hasn’t won in thirteen starts. The latter isn’t the most consistent and would prefer softer going while Beer With The Boys hasn’t won since 2018 at Pontefract when trained by Mick Channon. Ask Delaney has won over shorter here and would have a chance if the ground eases but the vote goes to UNIVERSAL FOCUS, who has won six times and is 2lb lower than his last winning mark.
