Verdict
See More Snow is one of the few on show here who has shown ability on a fast surface and with him running consistently well this season he is the percentage call in a tricky affair. Beat The Retreat is another to consider. He has put in some very useful performances this season without getting his head in front and his effort last time out at Exeter after a break was one of his best to date. On the minus side he has yet to race on a surface as fast as this. Reverse Swing ran his best race of the season at this track on his first run for trainer Heather Dalton earlier in the season. Disappointing since, if returning to form he could be in with a chance of a place at the very least. An outsider to consider is Colnside Bonnie who runs for the in-form Brendon Powell yard. His last two runs have been encouraging and with him showing his best bumper form on a fast surface he could go well at a decent price.
