Dapper Man was treading water in the closing stages at Pontefract and this is another stiff track. He also has 3lb more to carry so SPIRIT OF WEDZA (NAP) is preferred as the form of his victory here last month has been franked since. Only Spoofing has slipped to a fair mark and is running well enough to get involved while Wrenthorpe would have claims on his best form, though is closely matched with Bossipop on the form book. Zig Zag Zyggy has won three times here but the handicapper may be in charge at present and veteran Move In Time is hard to catch right nowadays.
Bossipop 6-1 (9-5) Tracked leader, ridden and weakened over 1f out, 13th of 14, 22 1/4l behind Quick Look (9-5) at Chester 6f hcp (4) sft in Jun.
Zig Zag Zyggy (IRE) 10-1 (9-9) Held up in touch towards stands side, headway over 2f out, hung right and weakened over 1f out, 9th of 11, 13 1/4l behind Air Raid (9-10) at Hamilton 6f hcp (4) sft in Jun.
