Mighty Man is game as he showed here when scoring at the previous meeting but he could never quite get to grips with the leader. He showed a tendency to run about when asked to go about his business. From a ratings point of view he is still going the right way as he had a few pounds to find with the winner and may well have got there if closer up on the home turn.
Westender, winner of this race last year, is not the easiest of rides and is not getting any better at his age.
Howle Hill has been tried at a variety of trips but it is very debatable he gets this far. (AK)
