A big field with any number having decent claims. No Regrets arrives on a hat-trick but has been hit with a further 11lb hike in the ratings. Olly Murphy’s pair Mon Port and Valentino Dancer are better treated and Getaway Mag is better than he showed at Warwick. Magic Dancer, Nautical Star and Kaizer are all worth considering but Your Band has a lengthy absence to overcome. METEORITE is having a first run since winning at Sedgefield in March but James Nixon again takes off 5lb and Tom Symonds’ charge improved markedly after wind surgery last season so may have more to offer. Off The Beat might also progress again this season so make most appeal of the remainder.
