WEIGHTWATCHER: VAPE won off a handicap mark of 69, his rating is now down 10lb to 59. LONGEST TRAVELLER: MOJOMAKER trained by D Loughnane, Tern Hill, 128 miles.
BEAR ROCK deservedly opened her account with a narrow verdict at Haydock recently and she looks capable of going in again following a 3lb rise She may have most to fear from Mojomaker, who doesn’t get his head in front at all often but he has been knocking on the door returned to turf of late and looks set for another prominent role Francisco scored on the all-weather last month and is third on the shortlist ahead of Saffredi.

Preference is for FOREST SPIRIT, who put in a good shift all things considered when third on recent turf debut at Windsor and she can make a contribution to what is proving to be a very productive spring for the Michael Bell yard. Angel On High should come on for last month’s reappearance spin and he is feared most ahead of Seraphic and Boy George

RACE SUMMARY
With the James Owen stable in such good form both the Group placed Fareedhat El Izz and distance winner, Hibikinada Du Mazet make plenty of appeal and will be strong in the market However, they have other more valuable assignments ahead of them, so today could be the day to take them on. It’s big ask for the veteran Paramer Angel, but he keeps rolling back the clock when fresh so he’s very difficult to pass over. However a chance is taken on MDAWI to progress from his debut, the step up in trip and the quick ground should suit him too.
