In depth
Verdict
Safrani makes a quick reappearance after finishing fourth at Chelmsford on Saturday though that was a very low-grade event. Sumner Beach is also out quickly after a decent effort here last Friday though could have been better drawn. Creative Talent has been racing in Ireland and ran poorly over hurdles last month but Tony Carroll will find a race for him though the stable have another representative in Rightway, who has won here in the past and is on his lowest ever mark. LIBERISQUE has yet to win but has been attempting to make all over this track and trip and just coming up short. There should be a race such as this in her and Luke Morris is a positive booking.
