KIDLAT was beaten less than a length when third in a better contest over C&D last month and a repeat effort should be good enough to take this. Alan Bailey's charge has since won at Wolverhampton and competes off the same mark here. Scary Movie is capable at this level and has his first start for new connections having won a claimer at Lingfield last time while Taaresh would have a chance if at his best after a lay-off. Fonterutoli should also go well but Strike Force may be better at Wolverhampton these days.
