ITWASWHATITWAS (1) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 1.5 lengths winner of an A8 at this track over 476m (29.21). Goes up a grade but expected to to measure up again. METRIC BUSTER (4) flew the lids with a sensational early split hitting the frame with a 1.3 lengths second (29.64) over 476m at this track. Expected to feature again. RHYTHMIC TADPOLE (5) drew trap 5 last start and was game in defeat when a close third, 1.5 lengths from Barnfield Crest (29.67) at this track. Overdue and is among the main hopes. WESSEX MERLIN (2) solid chance again.
