Scribe was beaten a length over track and trip last time and got the better of EASYDOESIT in December. The latter has won both subsequent starts over 1m4f at this track, however, and with this longer trip within his compass Tony Carroll's charge can reverse the form and go in again. It's difficult to make a strong case for any of the rest as Perfect Shot continues his downward slide and Irish raider Table Forty Six is another tumbling down the weights without showing any improvement for it. But Richo wasn't beaten that far here last month and ran well over fences last week and Party Palace also has place claims.
