Verdict
Specialv is upped 7lb for winning at Windsor while Finelcity is best in soft ground and finished runner-up over a mile at Chepstow last month. But TOMAHAWK KID had a subsequent winner back in third when making a winning debut over course and distance and Ian Williams’ colt should be bang there at the finish with normal progress. La Celebs Ville was narrowly beaten over track a trip last month but both Frap and With Pleasure will need to step up on recent form if they are to figure.
