This won't take much winning but Sudden Wish, Ilewindelilah and Mix N Match all lack a recent run so a market check may be necessary. SADMA was raised 4lb for his second at Wincanton but is still 3lb better off with fourth Catchin Time, who won subsequently at Leicester. Nick Lampard's grey is the one to beat on that evidence. It's difficult to make a much of a case for the remainder, who are all thoroughly exposed.
