LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): R Hannon (57 wins from 466 runners, 12%) runs EMILY REBECCA TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): James Owen (11 wins from 48 runners, 23%) runs COLINSKI
LONGEST TRAVELLER: IT’S LIFE trained by B Turner, Sherborne, 130 miles.
It looks very much as though COLINSKI has been brought along with handicaps in mind and, given his opening mark, the first-time cheekpieces and, moreover, the shrewd yard he represents, it’s not hard to envisage him raising his game now venturing down that route. Love You Back’s handicap debut sixth at Newbury was encouraging and this stiffer test should be right up his street He is feared most ahead of Emily Rebecca and It’s Life.

WEIGHTWATCHER: EASY EQUATION won off a handicap mark of 54, his rating is now down 7lb to 47. LONGEST TRAVELLER: BLACK SMOKE trained by D M Loughnane, Kidderminster, 154 miles.
If the market vibes surrounding SAXON LAND are positive the hint should be taken. Indeed, the 4-y-o is now 6lb lower in the weights compared to when a good third on her handicap debut at Sligo last summer and while it’s been a struggle since, she certainly wouldn’t be the first to show an immediate benefit from the switch to the James Owen yard. If able to reproduce something akin to the pick of her all-weather form now back on turf,The Colorist could be the main danger ahead of Sawgrass
