Maharajas Express had no luck in-running when behind Mogok Valley on last month’s reappearance at Kempton and remains unexposed. Radio Goo Goo finally got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month and David Evans also runs Democracy Dilemma, who beat HUBERTS DREAM at Wolverhampton two runs ago. That was over 5f, however, and the top weight can reverse that form back here on better terms. Expert Agent is on a roll and Sergeant Pep has yet to finish out of the first two, though is having a first run away from Wolverhampton. Havana By The Sea makes his Polytrack debut after a break but still makes more appeal than Matching Sox.
