Highly Focussed has won two Class 6 handicaps, the latest after a long break, and can get into contention despite a 4lb rise in this better grade. Scuzeme went up 7lb for landing a Thirsk handicap though it didn't prevent another cracking effort on a return visit and he's on the same mark but the three-year-old Friendly Advice went up 5lb for scoring at Beverley and couldn't quite cope at Ayr next time. MR WAGYU hasn't recaptured last season's excellent form when he scored four times but he's been given a real chance by the assessor having been dropped to his lowest-ever mark. John Quinn's charge gets the nod as Jordan Electrics, beaten a neck over the track and trip last week, faces older horses for the first time.
