Al Dain has been handed the plum inside berth on his debut and with Paul Hanagan booked should be watched in the market. Red Shadow has run well on this stiff track previously but the widest draw of all won't help while Just Like Heaven was a disappointment when strongly fancied at Thirsk last time after a very good run at Carlisle. The latter's stablemate Trust Fund Babe didn't appear to enjoy fast ground at Pontefract last week so it's HALF A BILLION who gets the vote from his low draw as this stiff 5f looks just what's required for him to lose his maiden tag.
