RICHIE VALENTINE scored over track and trip in September and posted a another good effort when runner-up at Hereford recently. Winning partner Chris Ward is back on board for this and he gets another chance. Izzy's Champion failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having won at Musselburgh before that but Eros should be sharper for a recent comeback run and Royal Act has undergone wind surgery since last in action. Kingston King drops down in trip after placing at Ffos Las.
