Paolozzi carries a double penalty having won both starts last month and In On The Act is also penalised for scoring at Ffos Las recently. Both should figure again but MONTE WILDHORN won a handicap at Newton Abbot on his penultimate start and may come out best on today's terms. Bumper winner Bumble Bay should finish closer with a recent reappearance at Worcester under his belt but the remainder are hard to fancy on what little they have shown so far.
