BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS STORM ASSET will likely prove popular in this sprint handicap and rightly so, because he’s evidently on good terms with himself at present and should appreciate the drop in trip. He was beaten just a short head off this mark at Wolverhampton five days ago and is officially 2lb well-in. A close-up second at Lingfield last time, Reckon I’m Hot heads the list of dangers from Music Banner.

PLAY SMARTER STORM ASSET found only one too good at Wolverhampton last week and is taken to quickly resume winning ways off an unchanged mark here with this shorter trip unlikely to incovenience this free-going sort. Giselles Izzy is next on the list with better to come now she goes handicapping. Reckon I’m Hot appeals as the pick of the remainder.
