Kwela had Visionara back in fifth when scoring over track and trip last month and should be in the mix once again. But Mendoza has had no luck with the draw today having also won here last month when beating ONE COOL DADDY. The latter re-opposes on better terms and with improvement expected on his second outing after a lay-off, Dean Ivory’s charge gets the nod. Self Assessment won over today’s trip at Chelmsford but is raised in class along with Wolverhampton winner Sea Fox while Yarmouth runner-up Gold At Midnight returns to 7f on his first start after switching yards.
