The veteran Sandfrankskipsgo has won four times around here though it's taken 28 attempts to reach that figure. He's up 2lb for his latest victory in January but has won from very much higher marks in the past. Fareeq was almost three lengths behind him in that latter event and is just 1lb better off but he's been running well and should get closer. PROMINNA missed the break here three weeks ago and took a fierce hold before running on. David Probert replaces an apprentice and Tony Carroll's charge can go one better. Captain Ryan has won eight races but three have been at Wolverhampton and five at Bath so he's something of a course specialist on those tracks while Holdenhurst has never raced over a trip this short on the all-weather.
