LAMPS may prove good enough on today's terms in a poor seller. He was placed in a handicap at Ffos Las in April. Terminal has a chance at the weights after failing to complete his last couple of outings over fences while Heavenly Brook has joined a new yard and has finished runner up over fences in Ireland the last twice. Touch Back drops in class in an attempt to end a long losing run while Ministerofinterior won a seller at Stratford earlier this year but is up against tougher opposition in this.
