RAILWAY MUICE has a decent record around here and has slipped back down the ratings after a couple of below-par efforts. Ridden by a 7lb claimer, he has solid claims if back on song. Zoffalee is now 0-12 over fences but Kinondo Kwetu looks a threat to all. A winner between the flags, he was successful over hurdles in the spring and has plenty of scope. Ted's Friend needs to improve his jumping but was fourth over hurdles at Bangor on Friday.
