AVERTOR suggested last time that he's worth a return to six furlongs and with rain-softened ground in his favour Roger Charlton's charge gets the vote. He took third at Haydock in a race that's working out and evidently shows plenty at home. Signore Momento is on a real roll at present and clearly acts under conditions but this is the acid test and he's taken on up 7lbs, while New Leyf was surely flattered over seven here recently and perhaps needs that distance to be seen to his best. R Woody is consistent but that means he's now 7lbs higher than his latest victory and perhaps the handicapper has him, Aldermoor has won solely on quick ground while the well-treated Viking Spirit hasn't quite done enough to earn even an each-way vote despite conditions being ideal. This is probably sharp enough for Stevie Gee but along with Getcarter and Arabian Pearl he can't be ruled out.
