HORCRUX (2) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 6f at this track last time. Form here at this trip is sound. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. MALLETIER (4) is a four-time winner who has been performing well, scoring by a head last time out over 6f at this track. Unbeaten over this journey and is a real chance to keep that record intact. WHEELY (13) scored last start at this track to make it two wins and two placings from four starts this campaign. Has claims based on that latest effort. GI GI POPS (11) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5f at this track, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.
