A desperate affair which won’t take much winning. Adam Kirby and Luke Morris have had many tussles on the all-weather down the years and their mounts could dominate this. The former’s THE SPECIAL ONE was making her Polytrack debut when only beaten a length at Chelmsford. That was just her second start for Ali Stronge and her ninth in total so she probably has more scope than Welsh Inlet, who has run 71 times on artificial surfaces though was placed last time in a higher grade. Living Leader’s victory at Kempton came in a Class 7 event and he’s been raised 4lb for that.
