A rejuvenated LACAN (NAP) has won four times since joining Mick Appleby’s yard including over 7f at Kempton last time. He’s scored over today’s longer trip and off higher marks in the past and looks worth sticking with. Commit No Nuisance returns to action with a chance having placed at Kempton when last seen while Wind In My Sails finished runner-up over track and trip before struggling over 1m2f. Shining Aitch also placed here before well beaten at Yarmouth while Bandoss may improve now handicapping though needs to if he’s to figure.
