Track: Soft 5 Weather: Showers

Wide open field and a few of the likely chances are drawn wide. Gringotts is ready to win this prep. Huge effort fresh when luckless and backed it up again with a big run. TaviTime maps for a much better run and can be up on speed and hard to hold out. A lot to like about the last start win. HereToShock gets barrier 1 and comes into this race in very good form. Worth some thought. DetonatorJack hasn’t won in a long time but does find a suitable field here.

1. Here To Shock (1)

Good set up from barrier 1. In flying form and does look very hard to beat in this. Should do no work from there and brings some class into this field. Well placed.

2. Detonator Jack (21)

Hasn’t been in the best of form but is certainly proven above this level and best efforts go close. Very tough draw.

3. Lion’s Roar (18)

Races well here and consistent runner who knows how to find the placings. Tough barrier but is good enough.

4. Gringotts (23)

Racing extremely well and luckless fresh. Barrier 23 makes things very tricky but may well be the most in form and best horse in this race.

5. Sky Lab (8)

Goes on top. Won at large odds fresh last prep and have loved the recent trials. Maps kindly from barrier 8 and if within striking range can give this a huge shake.

6. Hezashocka (3)

Can’t have.

7. Redstone Well (13)

Prefer others.

8. Suparazi (10)

Set to peak for this and all form has been solid. Can take this out and is due for a win this prep.

9. Time Quest (14)

Can’t have.

10. Floating (16)

Prefer others.

11. Ducasse (19)

This looks too tough from out there.

12. Tavi Time (9)

Excellent win last start. Drawn well and can make it back to back. Should be up on speed or just off the pace and should be there in the finish.

13. Overriding (20)

Can’t have.

14. Cranky Harry (12)

Prefer in easier.

15. Sneak Preview (6)

This looks too tough.

16. Green Shadows (24)

Can’t have.

17. Vivy Air (7)

This looks too tough.

18. Prince Of Helena (5)

Leaning to others.

19. Zouatica (22)

Prefer in easier.

20. Money From The Sky (17)

Can’t have.

21. Sharp Shock (4)

Leaning to others.

22. Lockdown Gamble (15)

This looks too tough.
