WENTWORTH FALLS had just the two outings last year and there should be more to come this season having won at Doncaster at the start of the month beating several of these in the process. Ninjago finished closest to the selection on that occasion but hasn’t won for some time now while Handsome Dude, Grandad's World and Kenny The Captain all finished further behind. Munfallet ended last year with a double and is 3lb higher on his reappearance while Cosmic Chatter finished just ahead of Jaywalker at Wolverhampton last time though neither looked like winning.
