Wizard Looking is in the form of his life and can defy a six pound penalty, Mid Valley and Giddywell could be the ones to chase him home. Don Cantillon¿s charge makes a quick return to the racecourse following an emphatic victory at Wolverhampton last week. With most of these either out of form or having their first run of the season there seems little reason why he can't follow up today. Mid Valley is one exception as he put in a solid effort last time out when chasing home The King And I last month. A repeat effort today should see him in the shake up. Giddywell is returning from a five month break but certainly has claims on the pick of last year's form. It is hard to form a case for any of the others and so we return to Wizard Looking , who is the most likely winner
