Sandfrankskipsgo won this last year but was behind Monumental Man and runner-up Dynamo Walt at Chelmsford 10 days ago. The latter can go close again but VERNE CASTLE (NAP) continued his progressive form with a fourth win in his last five starts when scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago. He’s upped a further 4lb but is still preferred to Zipedeedodah, who won a lower grade sprint at Chelmsford recently. Just Us Two is not without a shout off his current mark but Come On Dave was behind the selection last time.
