Proper Charlie has decent claims on his latest second at Wolverhampton with Dark Lane back in fifth and Belle Bayardo finished just ahead of Restless Bay when fourth over track and trip last Saturday. Black Cadillac ran his best race for some time when third here last week but Methaaly tends to save his best for Wolverhampton nowadays and scored there on his latest start. HAADEETH has been threatening to land one of these sprints and found only Frognal too good last time with Baby Dottie and Fairy Wing behind. It could be his turn today and he gets the nod.
