Shaiyzar has a poor strike-rate but is usually thereabouts in this grade and holds Scorpo and Forever Dylan on the form book. Letemgo, Sevenballs Of Fire and Riddlestown remain out of sorts while it’s difficult to make a case for Fenjack but HOUNDSCOURT will be staying on in the closing stages and could find the race falling into his lap. He is a three times winner here and found the trip much too short last time at Market Rasen.
