Wickhambrook won nicely at Warwick last time but has yet to race on today's going. Morally Bankrupt arrives in good form having landed a double at Kempton under Richard Hughes, but the latter prefers stablemate THE ALAMO today. He went close over track and trip in similar underfoot conditions last week and looks capable of going one better in this. Storm Force Ten steps back down in distance for his handicap debut while Floating Ballerino remains 6lb higher than his earlier win over course and distance.
