Wreningham is looking light in the handicap these days but is untested on soft ground so instead we turn to last time out winner BOOKIESINDEX BOY with Taboor holding chances off bottom weight. Racing off a lower mark than on his last time out score now returning to the turf and having added soft ground form to his CV in the past he looks to have a real good chance at following up. Wreningham is now seven pounds below his last winning rating but despite showing a spark of form on his last run the conditions remain a concerning factor. Taboor receives weight from all here and at four pounds lighter than when placing over course and distance in similar conditions last summer must be considered a live contender. Diddums has an in and out profile but is well treated on the pick of his form ,however, with the ground also looking against him we prefer Bookiesindex Boy off a rating lower than his last time out success.
