Lil Guff is penalised for winning at Bath last week having earlier finished behind second-placed WHATS IN THE BAG at Windsor. The latter missed the break on that occasion and that was his first start since last summer so there looks plenty more to come from him. Lipsink is regularly in the mix but has a poor strike-rate on Turf and Coup De Force may well reverse earlier running at Southwell.
Lil Guff 6-4 (9-4) Made all, pushed along just after halfway, briefly ridden 1f out, ran on strongly inside final 110 yards, always doing enough, won at Bath 5f hcp (4) fm in Jun beating Glamorous Breeze (9-7) by 1 1/2l, 3 ran.
