MEADRAM (NAP) won over course and distance on last month’s handicap debut. There should be more to come from him over middle-distances and he looks worth sticking with. Aussie Rascal placed over a shorter trip here last time and Capla Lass finished closer at Newcastle more recently. Sir John Bowdler may improve for this extra distance while Forge Valley Lad debuts for a new yard on his belated reappearance.
