CHARACTER TESTING 7/2
CHARACTER TESTING at 7/2, Mark Walford and Jamie Hamilton, is the one that stands out. He has already run to within touching distance off this sort of figure, beaten 0.25L off 92 on 16 January and was not given a hard time of it last time.
The dangers are PEACE MOTIVATOR at 66/1 (back quickly) and TWILIGHT SAFARI at 7/1.
