Cappananty Con posted a better effort at Windsor last time but has to race off a 10lb higher mark back on the all-weather. Blazed found only one too good at Nottingham recently and is one to consider while Signore Piccolo has slid back down the weights and can bounce back at any time. Fantasy Keeper is not badly treated on his return to action and Always Amazing should be sharper for a recent comeback but LITTLE PALAVAR gets the vote as he was winning off an 8lb higher mark last year and Clive Cox’ charge should find this easier than his recent tasks in Class 3 sprints.
