This bunch haven't managed a single win between them so far but that will have to change today. SURROUND SOUND may be the lucky one as he finished second in similar company at Catterick last week and should be on the premises once again. Rocket Ronnie finished third at the same meeting so he can also be given a chance while Mudaawem has been placed on the all-weather of late without really threatening to get his head in front. It's difficult to make any sort of case for the remainder unless Darkside or Lexington Blue have improved since last year.
