Verdict
Positivity has won four times over C&D and cannot be discounted after scoring at Beverley three weeks ago. Warwick winner Invincible Hero has scope for improvement if handling the Fibresand and Eastern Hills also has claims as he won here last month and remains on a winning mark. However, YOU'VE BEEN MOWED can race off a 5lb lower mark back on the all-weather despite having scored at Nottingham last time. He gets the vote considering he has a past win on this surface to his credit. Flying Power has gone close at this track and is worth noting on his comeback.
