Not many of these have been in good form lately so a leap of faith may be required. The booking of Brian Hughes for Allez Cool is interesting as that one has dropped to a fair mark. Jac The Legend has generally been keeping better company while Irish raider Suzy's Music has as good a chance as any. Inchcolm has been thereabouts lately and Lakefield Rebel still runs the occasional good race. URBAN GALE hasn’t won since the end of 2015 and isn’t getting any younger but it was a better effort last time at Southwell and he’s probably run his best races around here in the past.
