A modest contest complicated by the fact that Dont Call Me Oscar is turned out again quickly under a penalty in search of a hat-trick after landing a seller at Fakenham on Friday. HOLLYWOOD ALL STAR didn't get home over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last time but had been running well over this trip at the Staffordshire course earlier. Ryan Hatch's claim is a major plus and he should be capable of bettering Bangor scorer, back on the same mark as when a well-beaten third here in December. The remainder have much to prove.
