This is anybody's race. Imjin River went close at Wolverhampton last time but will do well to take up a good position drawn out with the washing while Custom House is also drawn wide and is best over 7f anyway. Bishopbriggs made the frame last time but over 7f on the Fibresand while The Name Is Frank continues to slip down the weights without showing any improvement. Copper Falls recent win came in Jersey and both of Ereka's previous victories were over 7f. STRATEGIC ACTION found only one too good at Brighton having scored at Folkestone before that and he gets the token vote despite another 3lb rise.
