JOE LE TAXI has the best best piece of recent form on offer having won at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut earlier this month. He's having his first start on Fibresand but Mark Johnston's charges usually handle this surface and he gets the vote ahead of Go Maggie Go. The latter was runner-up in a seller over 5f here on her latest start and should go well again but Bobbyow, who was sent off favourite here a fortnight ago, never recovered from a slow start. Ridgeway Hawk makes most appeal of the remainder.
