Depose is back over 7f today having returned a losing favourite the last twice. WAILEA NIGHTS is preferred having returned a surprise winner at Wolverhampton recently as an apprentice’s allowance negates a 6lb rise today. Bendy Spirit is usually in the mix without winning and looks capable of placing again but Southwell winner Blake's Vision ran a shocker at Wolverhampton last time and both Danny Ocean and Lets Go Lucky look high enough in the weights.
