WHITTLE LE WOODS was beaten in a tougher sprint at Kempton last week but has done most of his winning on the Tapeta. He had Asadjumeirah back in third with Astro Jakk, Mighty Gurkha and Mudlahhim further behind when scoring at Wolverhampton earlier and can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentices’ allowance taken into consideration. Ben Macdu is also partnered by a claimer today having won at Newcastle recently while Dave Dexter finished ahead of Shallow Hal when third last time and is also preferred to the returning Politics.
