A good-quality sprint handicap that Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy have won for the past two years and they're represented by Silent Strike this time. He holds obvious claims having shown useful form the last twice but he did enjoy the run of the race and still come up short in a novice here last time, albeit a decent one, and so it could pay to look elsewhere. Al Najashi disputes favouritism with the Balding runner having rattled off four wins in a row and shot up 32lb in the ratings. His last two victories have come over 7f, though, and he could end up up doing too much early here. It's possible this will set up for a closer and COTAI LIGHTS fits the bill nicely having already won over the C&D and then shaped with a deal of promise when third in the same novice Silent Strike was second in last time. The selection was keen that day and this bigger field, which should lead to a more truly run, should prove right up his alley. He's also got a handy swing at the weights Silent Strike. Ten Carat Harry is worth a mention also as although his winning run came to an end in Listed company last time, a mark of 97 might still not prove beyond him back in a handicap. |

A good-quality sprint handicap that Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy have won for the past two years and they're represented by Silent Strike this time. He holds obvious claims having shown useful form the last twice but he did enjoy the run of the race and still come up short in a novice here last time, albeit a decent one, and so it could pay to look elsewhere. Al Najashi disputes favouritism with the Balding runner having rattled off four wins in a row and shot up 32lb in the ratings. His last two victories have come over 7f, though, and he could end up up doing too much early here. It's possible this will set up for a closer and COTAI LIGHTS fits the bill nicely having already won over the C&D and then shaped with a deal of promise when third in the same novice Silent Strike was second in last time. The selection was keen that day and this bigger field, which should lead to a more truly run, should prove right up his alley. He's also got a handy swing at the weights Silent Strike. Ten Carat Harry is worth a mention also as although his winning run came to an end in Listed company last time, a mark of 97 might still not prove beyond him back in a handicap. |

Ran to form on handicap debut beaten a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 6f, acts on AW, goes well off the front; can go well again. |

Made a bit too much use of when fifth beaten 6 1/4l off 77 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 6f, suited by 5f, acts on good to firm and AW; reliable sort though goes hard at the front. |
