Al Ozzdi had returned to a winning mark over track and trip last week and duly got his head back in front. Bu he’s penalised for beating the re-opposing Lukoutoldmakezebak while Amor Fati has slipped down the weights over the winter and finished closer over a longer trip at Wolverhampton a week ago. CHANNEL PACKET is another looking to take advantage of a favourable mark and after placing at Chelmsford the last twice, it could be the turn of Mick Appleby’s charge today. Ballet Red made the most of favourable terms to land a seller at Wolverhampton recently with High Fort perhaps best of the rest.
