HINTON ADMIRAL is selected to take advantage of the weights in this claimer, while Misaro, Dvinksy and Wotashirtfull are likely to get competitive. The last-named is top-rated on BHA figures with a mark of 83, and he is not badly placed with most of his opponents compared to if this were a handicap. Jim Boyle's runner has got a 6f win to his name, but is patently better over the minimum trip, and although he goes particularly well here he is just opposed. Misaro is a very consistent performer who has struggled in handicaps, but done well when switched to this sphere. He is fully effective at both 5f and this trip, and has only 1lb to find with the top horse, so he can go close once more. Dvinsky is a specialist at this trip, which will of course stand him in good stead. He has a win to his name here, but the drawbaxck for him is that his best form has all been the other way around at Kempton, and he is just taken on. Kempton winner Boldinor has lots to find and preference is for Hinton Admiral. The six-year-old landed a Yarmouth claimer over this trip when last seen in May and has previously won a couple of Listed races at this venue. He can go well when fresh and we would like to be on his side here.
