No recent winning form on offer though Pharoh Jake won this 2016 but could only manage fifth in last year’s renewal. Hurricane Alert finished third at Yarmouth last week while Culloden has placed on his last couple of outings on the all-weather. But WANEEN finally showed some improvement for a tumble down the handicap when second at Chelmsford last time and John Butler’s charge gets the nod racing off the same mark today. Dreams Of Glory has also plummeted down the weights and could bounce back at any time.
