Verdict
Towbee scored at Redcar last time with a bit in hand though he's upped in distance and has a wide draw to over come here. MAYO LAD makes more appeal as he went close over today's distance at Folkestone on his reappearance and handicap debut and has plenty of scope for further progress on only his fifth start. Absent Amy was much improved when runner-up at Lingfield in February and there should be more to come from her while Homeward Strut and Persidha are a couple of more exposed types who may well figure. Classic Falcon could prove best of the rest.
