Gats And Co has been a little below par so far this year but NO NO MAESTRO ran a nice race on his reappearance at Worcester. That will have blown away a few cobwebs and the course winner can go one better this evening as long as the ground doesn’t deteriorate further. Pottlerath is on a roll and, though still creeping up the weights, looks a threat but Fairlawn Flyer is hard to predict and best at Ffos Las. Biowavego is conceding weight all round but should make a chaser and has most scope of these.
