Verdict
None of these inspire confidence with only a token vote going to JOHN JOINER after finishing closer at Bath last time. Go Charlie was placed behind China Excels, who runs in the previous race, at Leicester last month while Honeymoon Express has tumbled down the weights and can bounce back at any time. Belle Nellie was still beaten eight lengths when third at Newcastle and Imjin River saves his best for the Fibresand at Southwell.
