Paros was pulled up when ISSAM chased home the very progressive Red Dirt Road at Exeter just under two weeks ago. Tom Symonds’ charge had also found only one too good at Ffos Las the time before and could be the answer to a tricky puzzle, despite concerns surrounding this sharp track. Bertie’s Wish got back to winning ways at Sedgefield and Killaloan arrives on a hat-trick but Prime Time Lady was last of three when favourite at Exeter. Mamoon Star makes his handicap debut but probably needs to up his game.
