Another tight handicap with little to separate a decidedly average bunch. Old Fashion finished just ahead of Auld Fyffee when runner-up at Lingfield a fortnight ago and should be in the mix but WESTERN PLAYBOY is preferred. The latter has gone close the last twice and drops in class for this. Faraajh and Horsetracker may do better now handicapping while Agadoo drops back down to a more suitable grade after a modest run at Newbury.
