Kinari was beaten a long way at Ffos Las and will need to do much better here as will Missile Man, though he wasn't suited to Polytrack last time. Loves Destination showed a bit more promise at Newbury but Popping Along appeared to resent testing ground at Chepstow after a promising debut on good going at Uttoxeter. This won't take much winning so a chance is taken on the newcomer MR OOSH, a half-brother to the useful Meadowcroft Boy and out of a winning hurdler.
