Verdict
Teescomponents Lad returned after a break to run a fine race at Perth and is just 2lb higher than when landing a Class 2 handicap at Market Rasen in November. The Bull Mccabe has been looking a few pounds high since beating a sole rival at Stratford but Flight Deck is the type to improve over this trip. Bootlegger and Innisfree Lad have been chasing and could need the run but nine-times winner NATIVE FIGHTER (NAP) has everything in his favour and is just 2lb higher than his Class 2 victory at Cartmel. Catchmeifyoucan has also been in winning form on that track this summer but French recruit Da Vinci Hand may do better over fences.
