SOUTHEASTERN (3) was well fancied last start over 1m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 5. 5 lengths. This trip suits so worth another chance. MERCILESANIHILATOR (1) gave a bold display over this course and distance when resuming last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second and beaten 7 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. RESIDE (2) impressed when successful on debut over 5½f at this track (Dirt) nine months ago and has not been produced since. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. ESCAPE HALL (7) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 6½f at this track, beaten 9 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.
