A tight handicap with 6lb covering the field. Mister Sweets heads the weights and made a satisfactory return to action following a break when runner-up in a small field at Ffos Las and should be spot-on now, with the extra half-mile also in his favour. However, it's interesting to see David Pipe turn out DINDIN after a good run on Sunday when a respectable runner-up at Stratford. The French import has been kept busy in recent months but the additional distance here is well within his compass and he receives a decent amount of weight from his rivals, especially with his rider's 5lb claim factored in. Whoshotwho is tumbling down the weights but a betting check is advised on a first start since December, although recent close Market Rasen runner-up, Pens Man, appeals as likelier shortlist material.
