A couple arrive fresh from winning at Chelmsford with LACAN preferred. He was having only his second outing for Mick Appleby when returning a wide-margin winner earlier in the week and will likely be raised by much more than today’s 4lb penalty when the handicapper has his say. Just An Idea can also go well again while Comeonfeeltheforce gets additional headgear and has returned to a winning mark. Melissa failed to win in nine starts in France and debuts for new connections.
