BLACK VALE has the most consistent recent form. He's been running well over 6f but scored over track and trip back in March and Ralph Smith's charge makes most appeal in a poor handicap. Hardy Black won at Wolverhampton at the start of the year but was tailed off on his recent reappearance while Space Walker has failed to figure off higher marks since scoring at Windsor. Saltwater Creek is dropping down in class along with Miss Lillie and both could figure.
