Tony Dinozzo was second at Fakenham at the start of the month but never really travelling when well beaten at Stratford on Tuesday. High Kite is still a maiden but has been knocking on the door over fences and hurdles and must have some sort of chance off bottom weight with his yard in terrific form. Presence Felt has scope but might need this and Comehomequietly returns from an even longer absence. Course and distance winner Sir Mattie remains out of sorts. WEST CORK FLASH has really come good, however, and can defy another 5lb rise in the weights to complete his hat-trick.
