Strong in numbers, but seemingly only a handful with a winning chance. These include last week's surprise 1m2f winner Mazaaher who runs unpenalised, and is effectively 5lb lower with Clifford Lee able to claim his allowance. As a result he's likely to be strong in the market, but he does need to prove his stamina over this extra two furlongs. Tred Softly is probably better than he's shown the past twice, and whilst a tricky conveyance, he holds place claims at a track he's run well at in the past, but the vote firmly goes to UP TEN DOWN TWO. This lightly raced sort (for his age) landed some tidy bets when winning over 2m at this track during the Cheltenham Festival week, and can handle this half mile drop in trip with the very capable Nathan Evans legged up tonight.
- Up Ten Down Two
- Tred Softly
- Mazaaher
