Terramarique is selected here ahead of Mistified and Red Echo. Terramarique comes here on a roll, having won his last three races - and eight of his last eleven starts. Much as he has been raised 10 pounds for that latest success, he can still go well again in what is a modest race. Matt The Thrasher has it to prove now from his new mark in terms of winning, but at least he has proven he can win races lately, and Mistified is now six pounds above his recent winning mark but does like it at this track and a good run is not ruled out. Fisby is also six pounds above his Market Rasen winning mark so needs to improve and City Breeze's recent Newton Abbot run was certainly a step in the right direction. Red Echo is well weighted based on his best chasing efforts, while Cool Alice seemed to show improved form following a break last time and Leonardo's Friend's recent track run seemed to be an improved effort, while He's The Gaffer is another to be well weighted based on his best chasing form. For the selection, though, we will stick with Terramarique.
