Market support for Madison Belle should be heeded on this return to the track, however we will take a chance on STANLEY GOODSPEED who is preferred to Final Salute. The selection sneaks in at the bottom of the handicap following a series of consistent if unspectacular runs. He stays seven furlongs which will help him given the way the track is riding at the moment and this adaptable gelding can gain his first all-weather win on his first try at the track. Naomh Geileis tends to get behind and then finish well but her latest run here was very disappointing, Danum Dancer was eased when beaten here last time and rates more of a threat today with Jimmy Quinn booked to do the weight, whilst the consistent duo of Kyle and Bo McGinty shouldn¿t be far away once again. Restless Genius has run well here before so hopes will be high, as they should be for Gentle Guru who still looks nicely handicapped. Cheap Thrill showed a good attitude when winning here earlier in the month, Onceaponatime is consistent but not too easy to win with, whilst at a price Final Salute should run well now returned to this slower surface and despite a wide draw he is fancied to run a big race. An open finale to end the card, but the nod is given to Stanley Goodspeed.
