Leonard Thomas went close at Leicester last time but has to race off a 13lb higher mark back on the all-weather and has not won since 2013. It took Red Cossack 13 attempts to win and he's up 6lb after scoring over 7f here but Boarding Party has been thereabouts off similar marks of late. CHARLIES MATE continued his good progress with a victory at Chelmsford last time, his fourth win of the year, and it could pay to stick with John Best's charge in this. Welsh Inlet is back on a winning mark and another to consider.
