Most of these are running well and Whittle Le Woods was gaining his third all-weather success when scoring at Chelmsford. He's 3lb higher in this better grade but it will be a surprise if he's not thereabouts. Street Kid is well up to this level as he showed at Wolverhampton in November so a 1lb rise shouldn't pose a problem while SHOOT TO KILL make a quick reappearance after landing a Class 3 handicap at Lingfield on Saturday. Robyn Brisland has booked a 7lb claimer which more than offsets his penalty and he can go in again. Sir Maxi is in fine form and only just failed to get up at Newcastle but Corvair, a smart performer on his day, ran poorly at Wolverhampton last time. Papa Stour's second in a Class 2 Chelmsford handicap puts him in the picture while four-times all-weather winner Parallel World is another to consider.
