GWASH could be the way to go if in the same form as when second over C&D on his latest start but there are a few possible dangers in what looks a competitive opener Keel Strand can get straight back to form returned to a lower grade and is second choice ahead of You Some Girl, who shaped as if back on song at Sedgefield recently, and Galata Bridge.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT UTTOXETER
Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

Several to consider in this competitive race with the vote going to CALLIN BATON ROUGE, who scored over C&D during the summer and caught the eye (again over this C&D) last time, making late headway under considerate handling having been left with too much to do. Jhentong Enki showed ability for Paul Nolan in Ireland and is very interesting on debut for the Ben Pauling yard, while the hat-trick seeking Audacious Annie and Goodwin, who returned to form at Fontwell nine days ago, also have claims.
