Enterprising tactics and a drop in company didnt appear to work for Rudik and this frustrating performer lines up again in low grade company. The race centres around the well-being of top-rated Blakeset. He was beating the likes of Jorrocks here over six furlongs but that long absence is more than a worry. Nigel Shields rarely keeps hold of moderate animals and if the market speaks positively he will be very difficult to oppose. Nothing Daunted should be fit from two spins over hurdles. He was highly tried in handicap company last term and takes a drop in class. Cowboys and Angels is in the right grade but is disappointing of late. Lydia Pearce will be hoping that a break will have done him the world of good although he goes better at Wolverhampton than here. Mutarafaa has been well beaten in two poor sellers and is avoided. Mr Stylish is inconsistent although the booking of Martin Dwyer suggests he'll run well here. Differential's best form is at Lingfield while the rest of the field look hard to make cases for.
