Eve Johnson Houghton's stable continues in great form and COARSE CUT can complete the four-timer. He's come on in leaps and bounds since winning at Yarmouth last month, scoring since at Kempton and Bath. Zain Arion was well beaten off this mark at Kempton after winning at Yarmouth but Red Hot Chilly could be interesting stepping up to this trip for the first time and makes more appeal than Marshall Aid. Wynford's run at Pontefract was too bad to be true and he should strip fitter here.
