Cool Strutter carries 6lb extra having won at Brighton last week with Watch Tan back in fourth. Plucky Dip landed a double over 7f on Turf earlier and is not badly treated on his best form on the all-weather while Langley Vale slips further down the weights and can bounce back at any time. But a chance is taken OLAUDAH is ready for action on his return from a lay-off as he was placed over track and trip in both starts in January and Henry Candy’s charge is taken to finally open his account.
