Geegeeschaser and Houlihan should set a strong gallop. Interesting clash between the top two selections with Wells and Darmanin switching mounts. HOULIHAN (2) was a maiden winner here fresh then has been beaten as favourite all three since. Normally shows good speed but drifted back last time and was well off best. Change of rider and worth another chance. GEEGEES MERCEDES (5) was solid here two back then was well off best from a wide gate last time. Returns to the synthetic and off a better draw worth another try. GEEGEESCHASER (7) is yet to win here but has placed 5/7 tries and placed 2/3 when third-up. Looks ready to fire. RED FOX (10) is resuming in easier class and can give a sight with the light weight. JUST PLAIN NUTS (1) is better than last start and fitter for two runs back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Houlihan can atone.
