Robert Cowell has three in this but none of his trio make much appeal on what they've shown so far this season. Zero Money and Ahtoug have a chance at the weights, however, while Steps is a very speedy sort who was only beaten a length over course and distance last time. Doctor Parkes would also be worth a second look if getting a run from his reserve spot but Racy is far more interesting. Brian Ellison's gelding has only won a Brighton claimer this year but ran well here last month before finishing fourth in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood and deserves to pick up a decent prize. JUDGE 'N JURY finished behind Steps and Ahtoug here last month but wasn't beaten far and is fancied to reverse the form on this easier surface and be another winner for the girls' team.
