MORE LIKE IT can strike for the second time in a week and gets the vote ahead of Folie A Deux and Carriteau. The selection was a winner over distance at Carlisle on Tuesday and turns out here with a seven pound penalty but he still looks well placed here. It's hard to know exactly how good that form is with none of the others in the race reappearing yet but the result capped a progressive run of form. Folie A Deux is yet to get his head in front but has been knocking on the door in his last two outings. In the latest of which the form has worked out well and he as every chance of breaking the maiden. Carrieteau is now back racing at the mark he last won off after struggling under a heavier burden recently. The form from his last outing stands up pretty well but he¿ll have to give weight all-round here so the verdict goes to More Like It.
