Final Drive looked set to end his long losing run after a better effort at Wolverhampton but never threatened over C&D last time. Golden Tempest scored at Sandown recently and can be given a chance off only a 2lb higher mark while Copperwood pops up when in the mood as he was at Chester last week. Titan Triumph has gone off the boil but CRUISER posted a decent effort back over C&D last time when fifth to Shavanksy. He's dropping down a couple of grades for this and Bill Muir's charge can return to winning ways.
