Forecasts

Loveisili (8/11), Spirit Ridge (2/1), Beeno (5/1), Nearly There (33/1), Alexis Carrington (40/1)

This looks an easy opportunity for Loveisili to break his maiden but he was beaten at a very short price last time and is starting to look less than straightforward. This sharp track with a pilot who isn’t familiar with the environs may not be ideal and SPIRIT RIDGE is given the opportunity to build on his promising debut at Windsor; this is a rare runner at the track for her trainer and that maybe a hint we should take. Beeno makes a very belated start to his Flat career but he’s whizzed around off the front over hurdles on sharp tracks like this (he’s twice been placed here over obstacles) and given a soft lead he may be hard to catch.
