Short Work is starting to look well treated but he’s not fired so far this year. Fast Track is very well treated back on Turf for the first time in almost a year but he’s not managed a win on this surface since 2014. Afandem has also proved hard to place and Khelman has gone backwards since a promising reappearance at Doncaster, though has won twice here. INEXES also has a couple of course victories to his name, including this race 12 months ago when 2lb higher. He clearly likes it here and holds Start Time and Pomme De Terre on the form book. Dalton hasn’t had much racing but has his first run for a new yard after another lay-off.
