A number of the likely contenders here have been hit with low draws and one who is pitched in favourably is RIVERDALE, who is taken to improve on his Carlisle debut and score. Red Gold And Green comes into this having been runner-up in a claimer for David Nicholls first-up at this track. Fast ground suits and if improving a little he would be a threat. Heartbreak is also drawn down the nearside and dropped in trip, neither of which are certain to suit, while Saltergate can go well but is proving hard to win with. Watts Up Son belied a fancy price with his run last time and shouldn't be underestimated, but Riverdale is selected.
