Verdict
SPECIAL WELLS was probably a lucky winner last time at Uttoxeter and is 5lb higher. But his stable could not be in better form and it would be no surprise if he followed up. Rosquero didn’t beat much at Kelso and though Royal Macnab has won around here he does most of his winning north of the border. Eastview Boy has only won at Newcastle so far but Bonnet's Vino should be capable of better as she idled on the run-in at Fakenham when clear. Caraline should be approaching peak fitness but Huff And Puff only beat one home on his chasing bow and that was more than a year ago. Ballybogey usually finds at least one too good and Court Dismissed is equally frustrating.
