On Trend may well have troubled the first two had he not fallen last time at Exeter. He's well treated on his old form but is obviously one to treat with caution at present. Kyles Faith easily beat a subsequent winner at Exeter last month but has gone up in the weights since and also steps up a grade here. More evidence is needed before determining whether Warwick runner-up Ifyousayso is back to his best but Ffos Las third High Kite is a consistent sort and By The Boardwalk is gradually getting there. COSWAY SPIRIT usually runs well here and beat Jolly Boys Outing easily enough over track and trip in March. Ben Pauling's stayer can get back to winning ways today.
