Viewforth, Sahara Silk, Piccolo Prince and Kings College Boy look the four to concentrate on in this handicap and the vote is given to Sahara Silk. The selection is in cracking form and is chasing the hat-trick here. She won well at Musselburgh last time when beating Stargem and this improving filly should be capable of defying a penalty to score. Viewforth is always a threat in these type of events but he gave the impression last time that the handicapper might have caught up with him and he might be best watched today. Piccolo Prince would have claims on his best form but he needs easier ground to be seen to best effect and for that reason he is worth taking on. Kings College Boy ran well at Chester last time and he's well-drawn today so it would be no surprise to see him claiming some place money, but for the winner we will return to the in-form Sahara Silk.
