In depth
Verdict
Compton Dynamo is running out of excuses but has the capability to take a strong hand here. However, he is proving to be hard to win with and may again find a few too good. Little Edward is still on the up grade and may well confirm recent form with Whistler, but Bodfari Komaite will have been bolstered by his latest success at Haydock and cannot be ruled out of following up here.
