Drury Lane won well last time out and a follow up looks on the cards, Motu and Obe Bold look to be the obvious dangers. David Chapman's six-year-old was 7lb out of the handicap when winning at Catterick last time, he raced in touch and ran on to lead inside the final furlong. He¿s pretty exposed but looks interesting even with a penalty. Motu also hit winning form last time, comfortably beating Quicks The Word, there could be more to come and he looks a major threat. Obe Bold is not one to trust with your life but he put in an excellent effort last time behind the in form Aahgowangowan and a repeat performance would see him go very close. Drink To Me Only is another in good heart at the moment and he should also be vying for a place, however fior the winner we return to Drury Lane.
