The winning spree of DEEDS NOT WORDS came to a halt in a decent Newbury sprint last month after Michael Wigham had shrewdly placed the gelding to complete a rapid hat-trick. However, he was far from disgraced in that Berkshire contest, coming home a fair fifth, and this rates a less challenging assignment. It would not surprise to see him bounce back to winning ways. Splendid veteran Bronze Beau remains full of fizz but hopefully this confirmed trailblazer will give our selection a nice tow into the race. Muatadel, drawn between the pair, is also shortlisted having produced nicely progressive form since joining the Roger Fell operation. Windforpower has place claims but the ground is a concern.
