has run well in both handicap starts since returning after a 7 month break and was narrowly beaten at the Curragh last time when not appearing to fully stay the 7f trip. Decent claims here back over slightly shorter.

City Walk quickened clear inside the final furlong last time out and he is lightly raced so could still be improving for trainer SBS who usually does well with his horses at this track.

Well clear on my unique ratings and dropped in class after a recent good third in a class 2 handicap at this course.

Ran in higher grade on higher graded racecourse. A beaten fav out to chase some losses! All Goldcrest requirements met.

Very opposable favourite in this race and the selection is clearly best of the rest

Ralph Beckett has a good strike rate with first time out 2 year olds in maidens.

Winner of last two races ,including a comfortable victory at Lingfield on latest run. That was in a Class 2 Handicap over 1 mile 2 furlongs . Quickened to lead inside the final furlong,ran on well. Trainer David Simcock will have the horse ready to run another big race today.

Jockey rides this track really well, good price available for a course winner after a poor run on ground softer than ideal last time

Great value price, trainers only runner at the meeting which has been a profitable angle in the past and strike rate of better than one in five with his middle distance horses

I am A Gambler looks to be in top form and go go well from a good draw. He is only a 3 year old so should improve further.

There looks to be plenty of pace in this race with Pride of America and Forest Falcon both liking to get on with things, it may set up nicely for a closer and Barshnikov is in really good form at present.

Polytrack specialist Crimson Sand can gain a well deserved victory for in form trainer Richard Hughes.

Has had four runs in Class 2 races,winning two. All six victories have been over the distance of one mile and two furlongs. Has won both races this campaign,at Pontefract and Chester. Likes to be held up to produce a strong late finish. Strong each way chance.

left return run form well behind at Haydock last time, finishing a respectable 5th in an extended 10f handicap. Was making headway and looked to go close when she got stopped in her run and couldn’t fully recover. One to keep an eye on.

Sire Havana Grey has sired the most two year old winners this season and Georgiava should improve for her debut 3rd after being slow away.

Stable have won three classic already this season, by Frankel and should improve for listed Oaks Trial win on seasonal bow.

Style of running means he needs that bit of luck but from his lowest ever handicap mark can’t be left out of calculations.

Met with trouble over a furlong out at Chester last time out,but overcame that to run on into third place. Form is already starting to work out well. Course winner. Acts on the forecasted going and is a distance winner. Each way chance.
