Bennachie was in trouble when falling last time at Stratford and may be a shade high in the weights now. Johnny Go has been raised 5lb for a narrow win at Cartmel but the handicapper has given a chance to Urban Kode. DRIFTER stayed 1m6f on the Flat so should stay the extra around here and his latest effort at Bangor was too bad to be true. Paul O'Brien's claim is a plus so Harry Whittington's four-year-old is given a chance to bounce back.
