COME ON JOHN (1) was thereabouts last time out when third at Wolverhampton over 2400m, beaten half a length. Reunites with Sean Dylan Bowen which is a proven winning combination. Should be hard to stop. BUSBY (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Wolverhampton. Not as effective last time out when fifth over 1900m at Wolverhampton, beaten 4 lengths. The engagement of Aiden Brookes is noteworthy. Likely improver with strong prospects. SPARTAN TIMES (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 2040m at Newcastle All Weather eight days ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. ALVESTA (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form.
