Verdict
LITTLE ORCHID posted a much better effort when going close at Brighton last month and should figure again with a similar effort. Regal Galaxy also improved when runner-up at Chelmsford recently, albeit over a longer trip than this, while The Juggler finished in front of Pension Madness when third at Yarmouth last time having slipped down the weights. Trust The Man is another on the slide and was ahead of Master Of Heaven over 1m3f here a fortnight ago.
