Daafy is usually thereabouts around here but gets little respite from the handicapper. INEXPLICABLE is probably best at Wolverhampton but has won around here and isn’t badly treated at present – Mark Winn’s claim is a bonus. Biplane is consistent and is yet another course and distance winner and Kodebreaker beat Urban Road and Urban Road here two runs ago. Buraback slips further down the ratings and Darbucks attracted market support at Thirsk two weeks ago.
