Verdict

A few with questions to answer, but not so TRANS EXPRESS, who built on the promise of his penultimate run when scoring at Leicester. He has most to fear from Radical Archie, who arrives with a similar profile, while topweight Shalakar should come on for his return at Bangor, and isn't taken lightly.
