Verdict
Railway Storm got his head in front at Exeter in March and was then second off today's mark at Wincanton, though is closely matched with Mount Prospex on the form book. Derrychrin was placed at Navan last year and again at Worcester earlier this month. Dusk Till Dawn has the most scope of these and was still in touch when unseating his rider on the final circuit in a better race at Uttoxeter but MOLLY OSCAR came right back to form at Plumpton and can win again, despite a 9lb hike in the weights.
