Robert The Painter comes out best at the weights but that was the case when failing to land the odds in a seller at Leicester and he drops down to 6f in a bid to end a long losing run. FEELING EASY has not won since 2014 either but he drops down in class for this and is preferred to the more regular participants at this level. That list includes Noverre To Go, who was ahead of Agerzam when fourth here and has the beating of Generalyse on collateral form. Fellow veteran Spitfire is best at Southwell.
