TERCEL was narrowly beaten by the progressive Starwatch at Newbury last time and may come out best in this. Beltor opened his account stepped up to today's trip at Redcar a fortnight ago and is another to consider but Ajig's recent win came over a mile. Handheld also won over that trip last time but scored over track and trip on this card last year and is not out of this while Red Runaway has won two of his last three outings on the Polytrack and can figure. Principle Equation drops down a grade and could also get involved.
