Verdict
Brian Hughes is a significant jockey booking for the well-treated JUST CALL ME AL, who had excuses at Hexham earlier this month and was with the leaders when falling at Kelso previously. As is the norm at this time of year, Peter Bowen has his string in fine form and Dicey Rielly shouldn’t be far away again while Merveillo’s second at Uttoxeter was his best run for a while. Top Man will have needed his run at Warwick while the lightly-raced Tara Brooch attracted market support last time and should be capable of better.
