Numbercruncher came good over 2m4f at Worcester last week. He'll stay the extra but his penalty could be a problem. The Good Guy has won two out of three around here but needs to bounce back from a poor run at Uttoxeter while Five Out Of Five was bumped up 10lb after winning at Newton Abbot. Roses Legend and Crack At Dawn could figure but ROC DE GUYE is well enough treated at present and should stay the longer trip on this sharp track - he gets a tentative vote.
