Flat winner Stevie Thunder has been thereabouts in the majority of his runs over timber and this is a moderate contest. But the handicapper is reluctant to release his grip while Politeness took a backward step at Hexham after going close at Carlisle. Taffy Dare runs in her first handicap and has a chance but The Right Time wasn't beaten far at Worcester last time. AUTO MAC left previous form behind when third over track and trip last month. He's only a token selection but this won't take much winning.
