My Condor is starting to look well handicapped but may also be a light of former days. Zhukov should be winning soon at a lowly level judged on recent placed efforts at Newton Abbot and Fontwell while Pete could figure if Lucy Alexander can hold him up for a late run. Arumun and last month's Hereford winner The Grey One are others to consider but it could be worth giving another chance to the lightly-raced MIDDLEBROOK. He fell at the first at Market Rasen last month but had shown promise in his first two starts over the larger obstacles and has more scope than the majority of these.
