Five of these won their latest outings, including King Crimson and State Of The Union. But that was back in September and both may be sharper for today's run. Red Stripes has the most recent win but that was over 6f at Chelmsford while though Bahango beat a subsequent winner over track and trip in December a 11lb hike in the weights still looks excessive. TWIN TURBO opened his account with a cosy two-length victory over today's trip at Chelmsford at the end of last month and looks up to defying a 4lb rise. Bob Cowell's charge gets the nod in a competitive sprint.
