It was no surprise to see Rowe Park get his head back in front at Newbury earlier this month and he's one for the short-list here, despite conceding weight to all but the luckless Flash City. Lost In Paris finished last when Whozthecat won at Thirsk on Monday but the latter has a penalty to carry here, while Oldjoesaid is a pound higher than when second to Singeur at Ripon and may again find a couple too good. Macdillon and Nomoreblondes are closely matched on their run together over C&D nine days ago so we'll give a tentative vote to LAST SOVEREIGN, who is in cracking form and has struck up a good understanding with 7lb claimer Jacob Butterfield. He was just thwarted over 6f here last time but the drop back to 5f is in his favour and he goes well on fast ground so may capable of defying a slight rise in the weights.
