A tough one to call but PRIME LOCATION is handed a tentative vote having his first start for David Pipe. He's shown promise in novice company and, with a light weight on his handicap debut, is just the type the yard do so well with. Sail And Return is a big threat as he ploughed through the Uttoxeter mud to score in November and was in touch and travelling strongly when coming to grief at Chepstow a month ago. His young rider's claim is a bonus and he looks certain to get involved. Dream Again Boys has gone up 10lb for a very easy victory at Ffos Las but Jonjo O'Neill is using Maurice Lineham's claim to negate the extra and the six-year-old can go well. Be My Light doesn't win very often but is consistent enough to make her presence felt along with Too Cool To Fool, who hasn't had much racing for his age and impressed when scoring over this trip at Ayr.
