Osgood won a seller at Stratford last month but this is probably a bit more competitive. Thinger Licht showed a glimpse of his old form when only beaten a head over a longer trip here last time while El Toreros was second over course and distance last month, though is on a long losing run. Grand National-winning trainer Richard Newland turns out DALMO again quickly after he landed a gamble in a seller at Market Rasen on Sunday. He may be worth following now he's back in form.
