Safrani has a recent Wolverhampton win (and subsequent third) to boast and should give his running despite a 6lb penalty. He's preferred to Allux Boy, a winner last time out at Wolverhampton himself. He has something to prove back at this venue under his penalty. CLARY produced her best effort for a while when only just run down over C&D last time and merits a chance off a pound higher in this basement grade. Mossy's Lodge and Splash Of Verve are also worthy of being considered.
