Blacklooks is penalised for winning at Wolverhampton recently and KRIPKE can take advantage. The latter showed some ability when third in a maiden at Doncaster on his debut and David Barron’s runners have a good strike rate on the Fibresand. Wazin also represents a yard that gets plenty of winners here and she was placed at Chelmsford on her earlier debut while Lord Oberon is related to a couple of winners and is a newcomer to note.
