A few arrive in this in decent form with that list headed by Whats Up Woody, on a hat-trick after following up a Hexham victory with another here. Cobajayisland and Lucematic have been keeping better company and Blue Kascade and Foot The Bill are running well enough to get involved. More Madness would have a squeak back over fences but the handicapper has given a real chance to SCOTSWELL, who run his best races here and could take some pegging back if allowed an easy lead.
