Verdict

Findusatgorcombe was never travelling and was pulled up in the race won by Little Windmill here a couple of weeks ago. ALANJOU was second in that race, with Hardtorock a well-beaten fourth, and Henry Tett’s eight-year-old will benefit from professional handling today. Top Chief has been placed over 3m4f between the flags so should stay and looks a threat given he won here last month. Charlie Mon won't be far away if bouncing back from a below-par effort last time and Southport continues to slip down the weights so can’t be ignored.
