Lapford Lad came to grief here last time when going nicely enough when seeking to build on a course success on his previous start. He does look one of the more likely ones off what remains a decent mark but WILLYEGOLASSIEGO ran a much better race last time off a more workable mark and may well go one better here. She has conditions to suit and is weighted to get, at the very least, much closer to Ali The Hunter on their Wincanton running last month when the latter came home 8l clear. Inspireus keeps threatening to come good and should be kept on the right side along with Stonemadforspeed and Hold Me Tight.
