Verdict
Danny Whizzbang may not have stayed the longer trip last time at Stratford and has found some form again this year. Gats And Co is penalised after completing a four-timer at Ffos Las eight days ago but will be 8lb higher from next week so is still theoretically well treated. GO ON CHEZ gets 17lb, however, despite completing a four-timer of his own at Bangor last month. Only six, the latter may still be improving.
