This has an open look about it but veteran Fiddlers Bow could run well dropped another 5lb. Big Chief Benny is also starting to look well treated but Roxboro Road has gone up 8lb for winning a lesser race at Musselburgh. Road Warrior is chasing a hat-trick under 7lb claimer Kane Yeoman and Carlisle runner-up Maid O'Malley has gone close a couple of times but SUNNY EXPRESS gets the nod dropped back in trip after failing to stay 3m again at Taunton. Beat Box looks best of the rest.
