Tim Easterby and Richard Fahey are both double-handed in this sprint handicap. York third Shrimper Roo looks the pick of the former's pair as he'll appreciate the step up in distance while Tatlisu is preferred of the latter's two, despite an indifferent performance at Chester last time. Tumblewind won a shade cosily over 5f here last month but the extra furlong is a bit of a worry, as is a 6lb rise in the weights. ANTONIO GRAMSCI can get back to winning ways having pulled clear of the remainder when second at Hamilton last time. Successful at Musselburgh earlier, he still appears to be heading in the right direction and is well drawn here unlike Double Your Money.
