Verdict
The reliable Neige D'Antan should run her usual game race and will be in the firing-line once again if doing so but Brown Pete now looks high enough in the weights having landed a double here last month. Norfolk Sky has done his recent winning over longer distances but Understory went close at this track on his penultimate start only to disappoint last time. STRIKE FORCE landed a higher grade race at Wolverhampton last week and the top weight is fancied to shrug off a penalty and go in again in this less competitive affair.
