Verdict

Loch Ma Naire has raced over four different trips without success in five starts so far and attempts 1m2f for the first time here. NEW COLOURS is preferred as Marcus Tregoning's charge found only one too good in soft ground at Windsor last time and drops down a grade for this. Spectator ran much better in testing ground at Bath before a modest effort at the same track last time while the handicap debutant Drifter may improve past the more exposed Gratzie.
