A change of tactics worked for Northern Express at York but this is a competitive little contest and he’s gone up 7lb. Fools Rush In beat Il Bandito over track and trip in June but the latter is now 9lb better off and may turn the tables. Little went right for INVEIGLE at Newmarket after an impressive win at Yarmouth earlier and it would be no surprise to see him get back on track today, though the in-form Gioia Cieca should make a race of it. Entwistle makes a quick reappearance after finishing third at Catterick on Wednesday.
