Verdict
The front-running Channel Packet came up short when placed over a longer trip last time while Three Dons also drops down in distance after placing at Lingfield. Somedayonedaynever and Six Strings posted better efforts over 7f recently but a chance is taken on BAZALGETTE (NAP), who has a more favourable draw than when only fifth here earlier in the week and has Billy Loughnane doing the steering on this occasion.
