Vodka Wells is back in the right grade but has something to find with Chestnut Ben on Musselburgh running in January. Trust Thomas has been a bit more amenable of late and beat Quick Decisson at Ayr in February, though has never won off a mark this high. Patrick Griffin runs two in this but Heist is returning from a break and CAPTAIN HOX looks the stable number one. He's running in his first handicap and he doesn't look badly treated on his second at Carlisle in March and latest third at Ballinrobe. Lucinda Russell is also double-handed with Ballycool preferred to Kai Broon.
