My Single Malt was winning for the first time since 2010 when scoring here last week. He should still get involved, despite a penalty, but ONE SCOOP OR TWO has won three times at this track and is back on a winning mark. He gets a speculative vote to get his head back in front. Outlaw Torn and Pravda Street have both struggled since winning at the turn of the year but Schottische went close on her penultimate start on the Fibresand at Southwell. Life And Times is also worth noting on his return and multiple course winner Safwaan could bounce back at any time.
