He's A Hawker popped-up at 66/1 over track and trip last time and it remains to be seen if he can repeat that effort off a 9lb higher mark. Finding Your Feet was sent off favourite on his reappearance at Fontwell but never figured and has something to prove now while Ironical was another shock winner when he scored at Stratford last time and is upped 6lb for that. MARMAS survived a blunder at the last to win at Market Rasen last month but apart from that mistake John Mackie's charge jumped fluently and better still is expected on his handicap bow.
