Tokay Dokey doesn’t have many miles on the clock but hasn’t raced since failing to land the odds at Carlisle in February of last year. GALLIC GEORDIE stays further but is effective over this trip when the going is soft and he’ll have come on a bundle for his run here at the start of the month. Escapeandevade and Netywell will also enjoy conditions while Hystery Bere looks a danger having only a third run over fences.
