Having proved a different proposition when recording a double at this venue in blinkers last season, Oj Lifestyle warrants respect in his hat-trick bid. However, the five-year-old may be worth taking on dropping back in distance and with cheekpieces on instead. SECRET STRENGTH arrives on the back of a close-up fourth at Chelmsford and Shaun Lycett's charge might prove the solution on his return to turf. Little Boy Blue can run well fresh and is also noted. |
There are reasons why all of these could win this tough little race and reasons why all of them may not. The safest option is probably SECRET STRENGTH who has been in good form on the all-weather, acts on sharp downhill tracks (notably Epsom) and will probably run his race. OJ Lifestyle is more talented than he will have us believe and is well handicapped if he decides to give it his all fitted in cheekpieces, but he is on his seasonal debut and a tricky customer, if one that loves this downhill track gravity seeming to compensate for his reticence to exert himself. Uncle Dick hasn't run too badly in his last two starts and won here back in August so may bounce back to his best and would be well treated at the weights if he does. Either of the other two could easily win if the cards fall for them. |

Game when scored by a length off 79 at Lingfield in March and back that up next time at Pontefract, but form has fallen away last two starts; likes sharp tracks so chance could bounce back |

Poorly drawn and probably unsuited by the heavy ground when ran poorly final start of 2024; good efforts here and at Epsom before that; on a good mark if at best, but off a break; not a no-hoper |

Well backed when landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off 70 over 8f here last time despite running quirkily and that was back in Seoptmeber; cheekpieces first time; returning from long layoff; down in trip and stiffer mark all worries, but on a going day would win this |
