Tell'em Nowt has now won four of his last five outings but is penalised for last week’s success at Newcastle and attempts the minimum trip for the first time. Jeans Maite has been raised 8lb and Red Walls is 2lb higher having both scored over track and trip last time while Nubough ended a long losing run with a victory over 6f at Lingfield. Denzil's Laughing won here on his penultimate start and Scale Force won last year’s renewal off today’s mark but a chance is taken on the unexposed maiden winner MAPLE JACK, who faced a tougher task here on his return from a lay-off and has been subsequently gelded.
