A tight-knit sprint in which marginal preference is for SIR MAXI who comes here on the back of a good Carlisle third (form been franked) and can bag a fourth C&D victory off a 1 lb lower mark. Willolarupi is feared most on the back of his recent Redcar victory, although a solid case can also be made for Havana Gila, Larchill Lass and Minnesota Lad.
