The biggest field of the day is saved for the penultimate race although it’s a contest that lacks many solid options although you would have to respect the C&D record of Surprise Vendor who has slipped back below his last winning mark and was badly hampered last time out so that run can be ignored. OUR LUCAS came second in that Musselburgh race and he may well have been unlucky to bump into well treated types on both his last two starts; the booking of champion jockey Richard Johnson could well be significant. Plenty of these look as though they could do with stronger test of stamina like handicap debutante Silk Or Scarlet and Make It Happen. Sky Full Of Stars will very much come into the equation if his last time out conqueror (Bulls Head) runs well earlier and Lastin’ Memories is worth a glance in the market now he drops in trip to 2m.
