Sadler's Kingdom ran well in defeat last time out but now looks high enough in the weights so we will plump instead for recent winner Four Miracles ahead of Bold Adventure. The selection has looked at home on ground with some cut in, and won easily just nine days ago at Brighton. The stable's horses are running well and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to stop him winning again. Doubly Guest acts on soft but has been well held recently so needs to step up, along with Trump Call who let down backers last time out. Bold Adventure was punted on his return and wasn't beaten far; watch the market for a repeat performance today as he may just have needed the run. At a price Tina's Ridge could run into a place, however Four Miracles is in good form and can win again.
