Vuhjohn popped-up in last year's renewal off the same mark as today and Richard Hughes partners Abadejo who has slipped down the weights. Perfect Honour has been placed over 6f recently and is another who could figure but the token vote goes to FIRST FAST NOW, a runner-up over C&D last time and dropping down a grade here. The remainder arrive out of form and hard to fancy in a really poor sprint.
