Verdict
Nicky Richards sets a bit of a poser here, saddling both FIND A KEY and bumper winner Groovy Dancer, but Dougie Costello's mount looks the one to be on. He was just outpointed by Red Rocco at Ayr last time but the first two were clear of the remainder and the five-year-old deserves a change of luck. Maybe I Wont has shown some ability, noticeably when third at Carlisle in March, but he's starting to look a little exposed and Hi George may need his first run since disappointing in a Market Rasen bumper in February.
