WAARID is our call in the nightcap with Hammer and Regain Du Charbonneau as the dangers. Gary Moore's charge has the blinkers reapplied having worn eyeshields last time out. Joseph Akehurst is able to take off a valuable 8lb off the weight. Hammer has been in fair nick in lesser company. He was unable to defy an 8lb rise up the weights for his Taunton win but Danny Cook is one of the better riders in this race. Regain Du Charbonneau is tried in a first time visor. Well backed last time out, it will be interesting to see if those punters are wanting to row in again. Lansdowne Princess has to be considered off the back of a fair second in a decent Wincanton handicap. Seaquel has less experience than most so could be open to improvement. Charlotte Street has the tongue strap applied this afternoon and if there is any money around for the Warren Greatrex inmate, it should not be ignored. A hard race to bow out on though Waarid's consistency steers him into our thoughts.
