Relkadam has been showing signs of life and has slipped to a very lenient mark but ARCADE ATTRACTION (NAP) made all to beat a subsequent winner at Fontwell last month and it’s difficult to see Pawpaw reversing that form, despite a 10lb turnaround in the weights. Not much appeals among the remainder, who were all pulled up last time.
