Verdict
The veteran Max Dynamo has improved for last year’s wind operation and returned to the fray with a victory over a longer trip here. But he faces tougher opposition today including TIDE TIMES. The latter failed to show any improvement for the fitting of a tongue-tie at Doncaster but the headgear is removed and the return to soft ground will also suit Ian Williams’ charge. Heavey finally won over fences when successful over track and trip last time while Johnny B makes his chasing debut after placing over hurdles at Exeter and Jean Genie remains a maiden.
