NEWTOWN CHAMP (3) has been out of the placings the last couple but was an A5 winner (24.24) three back at Romford. Likely to improve sharply this time. BUMP N RUN (4) had trap 5 last start and ran well to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, (24.65) at Romford. Expected to be in this for a long way. MARIAS GIRL (6) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has finished in the money at the last three runs. Form at the trip sound including six wins. Well-placed to take this out. SLIPALONG ACE (2) has claims fresh from a recent placing.
