The Delray Munky only found one too good over a slightly longer trip here in April and has place claims again but this should chiefly concern the two bumper winners ECHO EXPRESS and Rockalzaro. Nicky Richards' Doncaster winner is the less exposed so gets the vote on that basis ahead of Donald McCain's Carlisle scorer. Temple Man looks very one paced but ex-pointer Moores Novelty could be interesting when upped in trip.
