Final Delivery won a seller at Yarmouth last month but over 1m2f and today's shorter trip raises doubts his ability to follow-up. He can race on favourable terms with the frustrating Final Bid but Ryan Powell's claim means TOOLEY WOODS comes out best at the weights. She faded badly in the closing stages at Pontefract last time but had earlier gone close over C&D and with plenty of scope for improvement, George Margarson's filly gets the nod. The remainder look up against it with Nottingham nursery winner Dansili Dutch possibly the best of them.
