Plenty with claims in this though Strictly Carter’s recent success at Wolverhampton was his first in 18 attempts and he’s back up in the weights. Tilsworth Micky broke a blood vessel last time having won at Kempton before that but MENELIK went close again last month after winning over track and trip earlier. Collateral form gives the latter the beating of Mighty Zip and he gets the nod back over 6f today. Quiet Warrior and Nasri are others with a shout.
