Verdict
A typically open sprint handicap with a number of leading contenders but Karminskey Park has race fitness on his side and is just preferred. Tim Etherington's charge has enjoyed a profitable campaign on the all-weather and showed he remains in top form following a close second in a competitive Lingfield handicap at the start of the month. The daughter of Sabrehill returns to the turf on a fair mark and should give another good account from a favourable low draw. Arogant Prince took this prize twelve months ago and is entitled to go close again off a 5lb higher mark while College maid is another to consider. Jim Goldie's mare is a previous course and distance winner, remains on a fair mark and is closely matched with Columbine on last October's Ayr form. The latter confirmed his well being with a solid effort on the all-weather earlier in the week while Xanadu has place claims if fit for his return.
