Idol Deputy is upped in class off a 6lb higher mark after winning over track and trip and GUARACHA is preferred. The latter finished ahead of So It's War when third here last month and went on to score at Pontefract last time. Clive Brittain's charge should go close again raised only 2lb while Equity Risk could bounce back at any time having slipped further down the weights. Rock Of Max has yet to threaten but now goes handicapping for the first time and may prove best of the rest.
