Gay Kelleway has been posting plenty of big prizes on the all-weather this winter and Darryl Holland makes a flying visit to ride River Days. A three-times scorer at Wolverhampton, she will need to avoid her customary tendency to put in slow starts in order to hold any chance at the home turn. Erracht's miserable performance a couple of runs ago was reportedly put down to the fact that he had raced a couple of days earlier. The talented George Baker managed to cajole him to victory though in selling grade earlier this month and the combination are reunited today. Waxwing is dropped down to 5f having won silver medals over 7f and is opposed. Rellim and Safranine look held on recent form whilst Roxanne Mill, Cool Ballerina and Columbine are best watched after absences. We will take our chances with Tigress. James Unett's filly seems to prefer this track to Southwell and with Richard Quinn coming to Dunstall Park to take the ride, there certainly looks to be more positives than negatives about her.
