Another contest that wont take much winning. Colin Tizzard sent out last year’s winner but Muffins For Tea is already a 10-year-old and was pulled up here when last seen. Volcano also appears to have the lost the plot while Flagrant Delitiep was tailed off when third here earlier in the month. Saint Dalina was beaten 20 lengths when runner-up in a Southwell maiden last month but is one of the few with scope. COBALTIC is another and probably the one to beat on his Irish form if wind surgery has had the desired effect. Show On The Road could also figure if fully wound-up.
