The money was down for KING VIKTOR at Southwell last week and he just about got the job done staying on well to prevail by a neck at the line. He is turned out quickly under a penalty and as long as the drop back to a mile and a half doesn't count against him he looks to have found a decent opportunity to follow up. Luna Effect ran well to finish second at Southwell last time and looks the one to chase him home.

After disappointing at both Wolverhampton and Chelmsford it was good to see MCCAULEY'S TAVERN bounce back with a ready win over C&D at the start of the month. He came there going well between horses before keeping on best. He is 4lb higher but should still be handicapped to strike and he is taken to follow up. Back Tomorrow impressed winning at Southwell last month and looks the obvious danger.
