Impart is starting to slip down the weights again and it would be no surprise to see an improved performance. Holmeswood was a smooth winner at Ayr last month but MERRY BANTER was second off this mark at Haydock before showing good speed in a better race at York and may be worth another chance. Computable promised plenty when second at Thirsk in April but hasn’t really delivered since and Harome is hard to catch right. Liquid wasn’t winning out of turn at Thirsk, however, and Full Intention would also have claims dropping back to 5f for the first time this year.
