From her handy draw she looks a nice chance.Race 3 @ 6.39pm - #2 Nazare & #3 Ultimate LadWe start with Nazare who brings solid trial form into the event.

Race 3 @ 5.55pm - #3 Signman & #5 Ultimate Lad Signman was thrown in the deep end when qualifying, but duly obliged. I'm very happy with the way he's progressed so he'd have to be a nice chance.Ultimate Lad's first up effort was good, when finishing within four lengths of the winner. It's a tricky draw but look for him to be hitting the line.Race 4 @ 6.20pm - #6 Keep It KlassyShe gets a good head start on the back markers, so if she steps and runs like we know she ca...

Race 2 @ 6.19pm - #4 Baileys Pitch2.40 for the 2200 metres was too rich for him last start. While the favourite will be hard to beat, he still looks a nice top three chance.Race 4 @ 7.09pm - #4 Rough And ReadyHe kept finding last week after having to do it tough. He's great each way value....

He's a good each way chance.Race 5 @ 6.54pm - #5 Keep It KlassyShe never stopped chasing last week but made up plenty of ground.

With luck she can feature....

Race 1 @ 5.20pm - #1 DragonstoneWhile it's a very good field, she does have the jump on them off the front mark. If she steps and runs they'll know she's been there.Race 6 @ 7.57pm - #3 Beta Prepare & #6 Joes RockBeta Prepare was devoid of luck when last on course.

Race 6 @ 7.42pm - #4 Baileys Pitch & #5 Skys LegacyDon't read into Baileys Pitch last start as he got a flat tyre at the 750 and was eased out of the race.
