You Say What can probably be forgiven his run on bottomless ground at Exeter, where he never figured following an early blunder. He looks a better bet than stablemate Saint John Henry but a few of these come into this in decent form. Indy Five bolted up at Taunton on his chasing bow but has been raised 12lb. Millanisi Boy has only gone up 3lb for winning at Chepstow but the cheekpieces will need to work a second time. Killala Quay produced a better effort in blinkers at Doncaster but stablemate Wilberdragon has plenty to prove over this trip. KIMBERLITE CANDY can give Tom Lacey’s stable back-to-back victories in this as he appeared to have got to grips with fences last time at Market Rasen and is expected to find more upped to 3m.
