Verdict

BOY NAMED SIOUX looked a natural on the all-weather when winning at Southwell two weeks ago, travelling strongly and suggesting he's on the upgrade. A first-time hood should help him follow up. Light The Night Up impressed when second over C&D previously and will appreciate this drop back to 7f. Mr Wonka has shown ability at this track and remains competitive.
