COOLE WELL’s Fontwell conqueror On The Slopes ran well at that track last week and the Plumpton scorer can resume winning ways here at the main expense of Shaman Du Berlais. Tim Vaughan’s maiden has gone close the last twice and a first victory can’t be far away. Chez Hans bolted up in a maiden at Leicester but probably didn't beat much with the favourite and second favourite both falling. Jamessaintpatrick has won between the flags but has been well beaten in a couple of bumpers.
