HOOD WINK (5) recorded a career best when a neck runner-up at Redcar eight days ago. May go one better. CAPTAIN BRUCE (3) was a good 2L winner of a Chelmsford handicap before finishing fifth over the same course and distance a fortnight ago. Can bounce back. DUE TO SHINE (4) placed second on fourth career outing at Beverley delivering a recent best. Will be thereabouts. LOOSE CONNECTION (2) looks interesting making handicap debut.
