PLAY SMARTER

It could be worth chancing WANDERING ROCKS, who is now 8lb lower compared to when beaten less than 3 lengths on his reappearance at Kempton and this drop back in trip looks a good move having struggledatthebusinessendin11/2mhandicapssince.Last-time-outwinnersEklilandAtLibertyarelive dangers, while Nonsuch Lad is another to consider Also worthy of mention is Dotties Star, who hasn’t shown much in maiden/novice company but is likelyto be seen in a better light now handicapping.

Stewards Note:

IREZUMI: Following its run on 19/5/2023 it was reported that the horse suffered interference in running.

PLAY SMARTER

ICONIC MOVER was beaten by the four-timer seeking Cloudy Rose at Brighton last time, but there was very little between the pair on that occasion and the small swing at the weights here may be enough for Pat Phelan’s gelding to turn the tables. Ship To Shore finally got off the mark when scoring at Southwell last time and can complete the placings.
