Form & Verdict
Two wins at Yarmouth last year (6f, good/good to firm) for Chris Dwyer; hasn't hit the same heights on either run for this stable but he showed good pace when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good) last time and this drop back down to 5f is worth a go; has the rail draw and could be a contender.
