FULL SPEED is at the top of his game at present. He'd already won twice over today's trip on the Flat this year before scoring over hurdles last month and most of a 7lb rise in the weights is negated by an apprentice's allowance. Philip Kirby's charge gets the vote ahead of Mr Snoozy, who won over a shorter trip here a fortnight ago and should go close again. The remainder are harder to fancy as both La Bacouetteuse and My Destination were still well beaten when placed on their latest starts and Madrasa remains 3lb higher than when recording his only win to date when successful at Redcar last year.
