Schmooze is arguably one of the best-bred fillies on the card but she isn't a frequent winner so we'll take a chance on PLUS FOURS. The grey was bought cheaply out of the Amanda Perrett yard and he put up a decent effort in a maiden over 1m4f at Wolverhampton before patently failing to stay an extended 2m next time. Neil's Pride has become expensive to follow and Richard Fahey's inmate heads into this race as a beaten favourite on three of her last four outings. Authentication has also been disappointing though the booking of Joe Fanning suggests that he's likely to be tried under the enterprising tactics that were used at Ripon. Up Ten Down Two has only gone up 2lb for a second at York, while Ctappers knows how to win having obliged in a hurdle race at Market Rasen and a maiden handicap on the Flat at Chepstow.
