Verdict
CANICALLYOUBACK came up against higher rated horses than these when fourth here last time. Evan Williams' charge has plenty in hand on today's terms with recent Stratford third Cousin Guillaume and can open his account. Howaboutnever has plenty of scope and should have come on for a reappearance at Uttoxeter but it's hard to make a case for the remaining pair on their recent poor form.
