The two recent winners stand out in this, though I See You Well saves his best for Plumpton and was winning for the sixth time at the latter track on his latest start. He has something to find on collateral form with POPPA POUTINE, who won nicely at Wincanton recently and has a 5lb rise in the weights reduced by a conditional’s allowance. The remaining trio are all looking to put poor efforts behind them, though Another Emotion went close at Hereford on his penultimate start.
