Hawdyerwheesht was scheduled to run at Market Rasen yesterday but would have claims if turning up here instead. In his possible absence, we'll stick with LITTLE POP who clearly appreciated the quicker ground when making all at Ffos Las last month. He can defy a 6lb higher mark though Royal Skies is a danger if fully recovered from his second at Newton Abbot on Friday. Mighty Leader and Ho Lee Moses have each-way claims but Life And Soul remains steadfastly out of sort.
