Verdict

WRITTENINTHESAND was slightly disappointing at Warwick having earlier finished runner-up at Exeter. But a recent wind operation and the application of a tongue-tie may give him the edge in this and he gets another chance. Mister Tickle has yet to win but finished closer at Fontwell last time while Arc Of Bubbles was runner-up at the same track without looking like catching the winner. Uttoxeter third Kingston King races from out of the handicap while recent point-to-point winner Awesome Tunes races under Rules for the first time since 2017.
