Call Out Loud is upped in class off a higher mark after winning at Newcastle but Cardsharp is back handicapping having placed in Listed company at Wolverhampton when ahead of Apex King. The latter and today’s rival MAIN STREET (NAP) filled the places here earlier but David Elsworth’s charge should be spot on now having only his third start since last summer and gets the vote to edge a competitive contest with headgear applied for the first time. Salateen scored over a longer trip here in January with Take The Helm back in third and the latter has the beating of Newcastle runner-up Gallipoli on collateral form.
