Young Lou won over a longer trip here in March but was earlier pulled up at Bangor when TAILOR TOM got his head in front. Donald McCain’s charge is still 7lb higher but there’s a chance that he’ll appreciate this better ground and could be worth an interest. Hoo Bally Diva won at Taunton after a lengthy absence but wouldn’t want the ground to dry out any more. Another Taunton winner, Hollow Park, has gone up 6lb and Walter Oneeightone might need this while Bagging Turf has been chasing without much success.
