HERM finished fourth over track and trip recently but was beaten only a length. He looks up to winning off his current mark and can confirm latest running with Final Attack in the process. Allux Boy won over a shorter trip here in October and is 4lb higher on his return while First Call went close at Chelmsford last month when last racing over today’s distance. Voice of A Leader’s latest second came in a lower grade at Southwell and Cat Royale makes more appeal with a recent outing at Lingfield under his belt and Adam Kirby taking over the reins for this.
