Recent winners The Armed Man, Crosse Fire and ROUND THE ISLAND have all been attracting the handicapper's attention following recent successes. Crosse Fire still looks feasibly treated on his best form and The Armed Man has looked most progressive. ROUND THE ISLAND stormed to an emphatic success at Pontefract and his penalty may not be enough to thwart him again. Market Choice is dropping down the weights and with many of these heading in the opposite direction he could find himself in the right race at the right time. He will be cherry ripe with perfect conditions for the first time this season and at the likely odds he could be a decent each-way shout.
