In depth
Verdict
Slipperfoot, Newkeylets and The Salwick Flyer are the three to consider here and Slipperfoot is selected to come home in front. The Salwick Flyer is only modest but has shown some improvement in his last two runs, with his recent effort at Wolverhampton arguably a career best. He can maintain the improvement but is overlooked here. Newkeylets also showed improved form recently when finishing a good third at Carlisle but disappointed at Ayr subsequently. Slipperfoot looks the one to be on. A runner up at Beverley two outings ago, the filly then ran a good race in defeat when a close fourth at Carlisle. Her trainer John Quinn is going well and believes his charge can progress. She can lose her maiden tag here.
