Windy Cove missed an engagement at Worcester yesterday having beaten Maria Magdalena when scoring at Warwick earlier. She’s 5lb higher today if taking her chance. ADDOSH never threatened the winner Hurricane Ali when third at Bangor but the latter has subsequently won a tougher contest at Aintree. Stuart Edmonds’ charge gets the nod on that form with the remaining pair hard to recommend.
