Jen's Boy arrives in decent form and this stiff track should suit but Ratfacemcdougall has questions to answer nowadays. Docpickedme has won around here but is probably better over fences. SPORTING ACE (NAP) can probably be forgiven his defeat by the useful Outlaw Peter at Exeter as he’d easily landed the odds earlier at Warwick and his bumper victory at Chepstow in February has worked out well. Biowavego has won at Uttoxeter and Worcester this year but probably hasn’t beaten much while the handicapper has taken no chances with the maiden Snipe.
