Verdict
Hard to be too confident about any of these, but EAST TYRONE came good when refitted with blinkers (retained) in a classified race at Wolverhampton and a similar level of performance should see him go close on his return to handicap company. Em Jay Kay was only beaten half a length at Newcastle on Tuesday and stepping back up from 5f shouldn't bother him, while C&D winner Bluebells Boy also has a squeak.
Expert View Verdict
EM JAY KAY has been generally consistent on the AW recently and he's back on his last winning mark. He will appreciate the step back up in trip and can get the better of the similarly consistent Bluebells Boy who has dropped a long way in the weights. Up The Anti's form has been in and out of late but he's twice won over 6f recently and will appreciate the drop back in trip having raced too freely over 7f last time. This track should suit our run style.
