The Navigator scored over a shorter trip at Carlisle last time but soft going is a worry while Fannie By Gaslight returned to winning ways at Chester but is penalised 5lb. Iron Mike’s earlier success at Musselburgh came over 1m4f and he’s gone close again since while Employer just missed out over a longer trip here recently and Glasses Up was beaten less than a length at Pontefract. But in an open contest another chance goes to ADDIS ABABA, who acts in soft ground and has gone close on several occasions already this year including off today’s mark at Redcar last week.
