Verdict
Plenty of these arrive at the track in peak form and INJUN SANDS can rattle up his hat-trick tonight. The four-year-old has raced exclusively on synthetic surfaces this season and has looked solid during victories at Lingfield and Chelmsford City. He had shown aptitude for the Turf previously and is worth chancing on a return tonight. Cape Victoria has gone well for apprentice handling and Andrew Balding's filly was value for more than the winning margin at Brighton suggests. All The Winds also bids for a hat-trick and connections have booked Jamie Spencer for the job while Braes Of Lochalsh is fresh from making the handicapper pay for his generosity at Ayr. Stock Hill Fair has dropped back to a fair mark and is duly noted in the betting.
