Havin' A Good Time's two wins to date have come on much quicker surfaces. He got off the mark on the Polytrack and it was good to firm when he just lasted home at Lingfield last time. Amber Heights won at Bath last month but reverted to type over this C&D subsequently and is worth opposing again today, while One Kool Dude appears to have lost the plot. MR MO JO has made steady progress and did well to get up on the line and force a dead-heat with Middleton Flyer at Newcastle last month. He may have a bit more to offer and gets the nod here ahead of other recent winners Danzoe and Fama Mac. Ever Roses was ahead of both Lord Buffhead and Sharp Shoes at Newcastle two weeks ago and could be the pick of the remainder.
