This won’t take much winning and TURNBURY is fancied to take advantage of the fact that he’s the only one of the 10 runners who have previously scored at the track. Nikki Evans’ charge ran better than his final placing suggests in a couple of starts at Wolverhampton last month yet has been eased another couple of pounds since. Victor's Bet is held on the first of those runs and the selection should reverse form with Powered on better terms. Hong Kong Joe, fourth on his comeback at Kempton, would have a squeak but the others are harder to fancy.
