FOR SHIA AND LULA is the obvious choice as he finally took advantage of a tumble down the weights to score at Bath last month. Today's opposition is no great shakes and he can go in again off only a 2lb higher mark. Cross The Boss is less than consistent but went close at Newcastle before his latest poor effort while Crossley slipped down the weights last season and may do better this year. It's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder in their current form but You'relikemefrank will be looking to make the most of his tumble down the handicap.
