Snake Charmer is only 5lb higher than when getting up in the shadow of the post to beat Crazy Eyes at Warwick but this drop in distance may not suit and he'd earlier finished a long way behind Daring Origyn at Leicester. Sherwani Wolf is lightly-raced but the form of his Chepstow win has yet to be franked, while this is a step up in class for the hat-trick seeking Not Til Monday. Stormy Weather and Vagrant Emperor are both tried in blinkers after disappointing so far this term but Credit Crunched is a possible on his handicap bow and Arctic Wings is capable on his day. SAINT ARE is still a novice and fell at Market Rasen last time but he made the useful Problema Tic pull out all the stops off level weights in January and could go close here at a working man's price.
