ADIOS ALONSO justified favouritism in this grade at Southwell at the start of the month. He's only been put up 4lb and, with Ben Poste claiming 5lb again, can follow up. Velvet Vic was third behind Starlight Air and Oscar Rainbow at Southwell last time. That pair run in the first division so there will be clues to his chances and he should again finish ahead of the disappointing Brass Monkey. Exeter third Get Home Now should be threatening the places again along with My Lad Percy, second at Ffos Las last week.
