Unforgiving Minute makes a quick reappearance having been struck into at Chelmsford on Thursday. Steel Train beat Fuwairt and Plucky Dip when winning over today’s trip at Doncaster though was only third off today’s higher mark last time. CORNWALLVILLE won over 6f here recently but scored over 7f at Newbury in August and Roger Fell’s charge may be good enough in this. Lefortovo won twice over a mile in France for Jo Hughes earlier in the year and Valbchek was beaten only a length on a visit to Deauville in October. Basil Berry looks high enough in the weights now and so does Right Touch.
