Verdict

Pour Me A Drink won in soft going over track and trip a fortnight ago in a first-time tongue-tie and should confirm running with second-placed Glasses Up. Returnofthemac finished runner-up over a shorter trip at Haydock on his handicap debut and can figure if lasting home while Time Voyage went close at Redcar last time and has been raised 3lb. THAI TERRIER (NAP) hasn’t raced since January but that’s not a problem for one of Mark Johnston’s runners and he gets the vote now handicapping having returned a wide-margin winner in novice company at Chelmsford.
