ATKINS (2) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as favourite over 6f at this track (Dirt) nine days ago, getting home by 0. 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to cope. TIME THE AVENGER (5) started at 13/8 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 5½f. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. COLONEL VARGO (6) finished fourth last start, beaten 9 lengths, over 1m at this track. Has a very good record over this journey with nine wins from 18 starts. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Should be involved in the finish. DOCTOR WU (1) was in the placings again last time when 1. 75 lengths adrift in third over 6f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects.
