A few of these have a bit to prove this evening but Henri Parry Morgan arrives off the back of placed efforts at Uttoxeter and Warwick. First Fandango is only 3lb higher than his last winning mark and Alan Johns claims 7lb while the once-useful Crack Away Jack normally operates at a much higher level. DAWN COMMANDER didn't enjoy the soft going at Haydock last month and is better judged on an all-the-way win at Warwick. He can get back on track here if allowed to dominate. Fighter Jet is preferred to the returning Shantou Tiger, though both were pulled up when last seen.
