A low-grade handicap and all bar Rodney Bay having had a run here. Irish Ambassador had been running well on the track and started favourite for a similar race a week ago but got no sort of run. Neyland was beaten just a length in that race but had every chance and is now 0-21. Camogue Wood wasn't far behind Emphatic earlier this month though that was over 7f and he's yet to prove he stays this far. OVERTAKE has had three quick runs over the track and trip and didn't get the run of the race last time. He's on a mark he should be capable of winning from so gets the vote.
