Being in a winning groove can count for plenty at this level so ALFRED COVE gets the nod to land a third success in his last 4 starts. Lewis Barnes ran his best race since joining Stuart Williams when runner-up at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and is second choice ahead of Wolverhampton-scorer Suanni.
