Grace Harris runs three in this and Glamorous Crescent and Mooroverthebridge both have fair claims in an ordinary handicap. First Link was second at Lingfield 10 days ago but looks a tricky ride. Jupiter beat Captain Sedgwick at Lingfield but the placings were reversed at Chepstow and there should be little between the pair again. Irish raider MIDNITEMUDCRABS finished second twice at Gowran in the spring on good to soft ground and was also runner-up at Ayr in July. He can finally get his head back in front in this. Vipin looks the pick of the remainder.
