Another chance for the usual old favourites to take their chances with decent scrabble scores possible from the form of some of the no-hopers. Dinofelis does appear a plausible option in a moderate race although Gregorian and Muqtadi are respected. Mark Brisbourne's charge is far from one to rely upon but he did show enough resolution to break his duck over the sticks and if lightening strikes twice - he is the percentage call. Gregorian holds him strictly on the book and while the booking of Mick Fitzgerald is appealing - he reportedly choked two runs ago and this must be factored into your bets. Cedar Rangers finished third to Albuhera in a Novice event. The second has won since and if his amateur pilot is prepared to risk a front-run; there are place possibilities. My Sharp Grey refused to race on her first racecourse appearance and is best watched for any exhibitions of those behaviours before you get your stakes on. Muqtadi hails from the shrewd Conor Dore yard and is noted in the market. Atalya is another to possess a high BHB rating but also has a number of worrying P's in the formbook. In a difficult race, Dinofelis is given a tentative nod.
