Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine

Open field. Here To Shock brings in a strong record. Has a solid winning strike rate and is a major player against this bunch. Bear On The Loose maps well from barrier 5 and has good claims against this field. Chorlton Lane has been just fair in its past few runs but best efforts would give this a shake. St Lawrence and Matcha Latte also go in the mix in what is a wide open field.

1. Here To Shock (9)

Has the runs on the board and is the most consistent of these. First look at the track but has been subject to good market support and will take holding out.

2. Nugget (6)

Hasn’t won for a while. Best efforts would take this out. Best taken on trust.

3. Berkshire Shadow (15)

Should be around the mark. Reasonable effort fresh and eye catching booking with J-Mac.

4. Loch Eagle (1)

Can’t have.

5. Ucalledit (12)

Prefer others.

6. Old Flame (10)

This looks too tough.

7. Stockman (11)

Can’t have.

8. Charterhouse (16)

Prefer others.

9. Robusto (2)

Has the turn of foot to take this out. Gone through a recent stable change and drawn to do no work. Chance.

10. Kinloch (14)

Knockout hope who has a big finale on him. Races well here and can’t be ruled out.

11. Chorlton Lane (3)

Recent efforts have been just fair but brings class to the field. Maps well and is a solid chance if handling the track. Loves good footing.

12. Matcha Latte (8)

Resumes with some strong form lines. A recent trial was a tidy piece of work and has won fresh in the past.

13. St Lawrence (4)

Racing well and due for a win. Warrants respect from the good draw and is right in the mix.

14. Riyazan (7)

Can’t have.

15. Ducasse (13)

Prefer others.

16. Floating (11)

This looks too tough.

17. Bear On The Loose (5)

Modest effort fresh. Has the pace to lead these up and will be strips fitter for the first up run. Hails from the leading stable and is well placed in this field.

The following are the top 4 selections for this years race.
