BOB CASEY made mistakes when weakening quickly over 2m4f here last month. It could just be that the further drop in distance might suit Keith Goldsworthy's gelding and, providing he jumps better today, he's worth a small interest against very exposed opposition who are returning from a break. She's Humble won off this mark at Plumpton in March, however, and handles soft ground while Paddy The Yank has only had four runs under Rules and wasn't beaten far over C&D on his penultimate outing. The others are difficult to recommend.
