Bilbrook Blaze is proving hard to catch right and while Devil To Pay completed last time at Fontwell he still looks high enough in the weights. HOUSTON DYNIMO doesn't really enjoy give in the ground but it was probably too quick for him last time at Newton Abbot. He's been eased in the weights again and David Noonan takes off a further 3lb. Mr Muddle would also have a squeak while Casino Markets has only had a couple of runs over fences so is open to more improvement than most.
