Those with recent winning form have been doing the business in Class 6 company. Enriching was back to winning ways last time who landing a first success since moving to Gary Harrison and, unlike many of these, knows how to get his head in front and is well respected. Gypsy Rider and Hawk Moth are closely matched on recent Brighton running but the former may just confirm the form whilst Wishformore is consistent at a modest level. FIRST CLASS has been operating at a higher level then the aforementioned and if he can rediscover his form of three outings ago when second to Azrael in Yarmouth Class 4 company he'll be a prime contender. He also landed a fair Doncaster Class 5 handicap last autumn and is worth taking a chance with off a mark of 62.
