Bumper winner One More Go should finish closer back over today's longer trip but Mariners Moon has not looked like winning since scoring at Beverley over a year ago. Warlu Way failed to win last year but has slipped further down the weights and could return to form at any time while Rockabilly Riot is raised in class off a higher mark after winning at Newcastle. CHANT is another looking to end a long losing run but ran well in a tougher handicap at Pontefract last week and gets the vote with Paul Hanagan taking over the reins today.
