In depth

Verdict

The veteran Coreczka has won six times around here though hasn't been seen since May 2019. Eacharn gained his third track victory in November that year and is on a 10lb lower mark but Gatsby Cap looks to have more of a chance after returning to action with a fine run last month when only beaten a length. BUACHAILL OR is 0-14 but almost made all over a mile last month and started favourite for a return visit. He didn't go well that day but is just as likely to bounce back and gets the nod in a poor-class handicap. Hit The Silk has never reached a place in ten starts around here but such is the low quality of the opposition he wouldn't be without a chance.
