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.
