Vastly has done all his winning so far over longer trips inlcuding his latest outing at Nottingham and he has to race off a higher mark back on this surface. Mary Le Bow won over further here in February and has been beaten in higher grade races subsequently while What Usain has struggled since landing a hat-trick of course wins and has his first start since October. FILAMENT OF GOLD (NAP) finally showed some improvement for a slide down the handicap when runner-up over track and trip last month. Roy Brotherton’s charge looks set to end a long losing run and gets the nod.
