There are certainly possibilities about Snake Charmer, who has been keeping much better company and is back on the same mark as when successful at Warwick in February. Newton Abbot winner Vintage Fabric looks worth opposing off a higher mark while the handicapper may also have the returning Kilshannig in his grip. Yorkshire Knight is unexposed and just failed to overhaul Ongenstown Lad at Ffos Las last month but it may be worth keeping faith with PEQENO DIABLO. Clare Dyson's Irish import was well backed when scoring over C&D 15 days ago and may have a little more to offer.
