Verdict

Jan Van Hoof had Gowanbuster back in fourth when scoring over track and trip last month but has subsequently finished behind runner-up CANFORD BAY back here. The latter failed to challenge from a high draw at Wolverhampton subsequently but that’s not a problem on this straight 5f and Tony Brittain’s charge can return to winning ways. The remainder are harder to recommend on recent form though Rantan should be sharper for a recent comeback and stablemate Danehill Desert slips further down the weights.
