Four Wheel Drive has already won four times this year and may not have finished yet as he drops back down a grade. He’s closely matched with Count D'Orsay on earlier running at Thirsk while Dapper Man finished in front of Lathom when fourth at Musselburgh last time but is best on fast going. TOMILY has failed to figure over 6f either side of finishing runner-up over today’s minimum trip at Haydock. It was also soft ground on that occasion and David O’Meara’s charge could be in the mix once again.
