The Nifty Fox can never be left out of the equation at this track and he's weighted to gain revenge on Rasaman for his recent course and distance defeat with Jim Goldie's runner burdened with a 6lb penalty but there's no reason why he should reverse the form with the second home Titus Andronicus who is due to race from a higher mark in the future as is Sir Geoffrey. The Bear and Jargelle also reoppose and the latter would certainly be of interest if attracting support on her third start for this yard as she's undoubtedly well handicapped on her old form and she's just one of a number with claims in a tight knit handicap. The vote, though, goes to WHOZTHECAT who hails from an in-form yard, has gone well fresh in the past and looked as though he could make up into a useful prospect when landing a touch on his reappearance.
