One has to feel for the connections of Silver Streak who has been raised an astronomical 20lb for making a winning handicap (and stable) debut at Taunton in December, whilst G'day Aussie has been hit similarly hard, but has at least won twice. Superior Command looks set to run his race from an elevated mark with his trainer amongst the winners on Monday, but a chance is taken that ENDLESS CREDIT can bounce back from a poor run at Sedgefield from a mark of 115; a figure he went close off at Wetherby on Boxing Day. This drying ground could suit, and he's run with credit (placed) here on the Flat in the past. 1. Endless Credit 2. Superior Command 3. Silver Streak
