Formscan - Bill Plumb returned to winning ways at Yarmouth last month but a 4lb rise will make life tougher for him here. With that in mind, preference is for CARGIN BHUI, who was only beaten half a length into third over 6f at Carlisle last time and the handicapper looks to have been generous to leave him on the same mark. The recent Southwell third Mattice may prove to be the main threat on this occasion.
