Wise Words was narrowly beaten at Bath last time but is now 19lb higher than when winning at Redcar earlier. PRINCE OF ROME (NAP) is preferred on his second start after wind surgery as Richard Hughes’ sprinter was denied at the post over the minimum trip at Chelmsford last time and is only 2lb higher today. Probability also went close at Chelmsford recently and is not out of this while Broken Spear has more scope than most after placing at Chester. Rocket Action wasn’t at his best at Yarmouth last time and the remaining pair are upped in class.
