2-2 since returning last month; 2lb well in under his penalty, but fast ground a question

6-21 over C&D and his record in this race reads 124; another big run is likely

Lightly raced on turf; 6f suits him best but this looks a stiff task under top weight

C&D winner who met trouble when behind Mister Sox at Pontefract last time; could figure

Back off last winning mark, but others are that bit more convincing
10 (5)	Mark's Choice b J:Andrew Mullen T:Gemma Tutty	J:Andrew Mullen T:Gemma Tutty	117	—	30/73-	62	89	-	150d	—	—	0	4.2	22/1 4%
