SHALL WE GO NOW slips further down the weights and may handle conditions a bit better than Thursday’s Fontwell winner Olympic Honour, who has to shoulder a penalty. Kenyan Cowboy’s third at Chepstow signalled a return to form while Shutthegate is a bit better than form figures would suggest. Badness Backfires was travelling as well as anything when unseating his rider at Bangor last month and looks best of the rest.
