Railroad Junkie gained a surprise debut victory over fences at Warwick and has taken on stronger opposition subsequently. Broughtons Rhythm might have won at Lingfield last month but for unseating at the last but has questions to answer after a poor run at Bangor. GLANCE BACK (NAP) hasn't had much experience but there was plenty to like about his recent victory at Bangor and a 4lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a quick double. All Kings has never won but was still bowling along in front when unseating three out at Wincanton.
