Economic Crisis has won seven times around here and though on a long losing run can never be dismissed. Primo's Comet gained his second track victory since April last month and his fourth in all so he's another who could run above his likely odds. The Bell Conductor's hard-fought victory at Beverley came on good to soft ground while Gunnerside, who has won six times this year, takes a step-up in class. Good Luck Fox is up 7lb for scoring here last month but the vote in a wide-open handicap goes to MODULAR MAGIC. David Barron's charge looked one to follow when scoring on his comeback at Ayr and though beaten at York next time did enough to suggest he can win again.
