Verdict
Molten Lava has gone up 6lb for winning a Class 7 handicap over a mile here last time and he's never won over this trip. Jeremy's Jet was third that day though finished strongly and will be much better suited by the extra but INNSTIGATOR was also staying on in the same race and, as that was his first start since February and he was having his first run for a new yard, he looks the one to be on. Haroon is still a maiden and made his all-weather debut over the track and trip a couple of weeks ago where he didn't run badly from a poor draw but Hard Toffee hasn't won for over two years. Frantical has dropped to his lowest ever mark but is 0-15 on the all-weather.
